Most also use a decimal number system, it doesn't make it any less
arbitrary. I do think that colors would reduce confusion and be
significantly more intuitive, however a more official tally of active
jbopre would probably be smart.

As for months, have we still settled on gregorian? It's, at the very least,
widespread, but we don't have a zero index. (This may not be a problem
however, as I don't think locale specifications take that into account)
