This went just to me.  To post to Lojban List, use the address

Because of the various conventions for numbering days of the week, we
begged the question.  I believe that you can either go from 0 to 6 starting
on Sunday, or 1 to 7 starting on Monday.  One-day is therefore always Monday,
but Sunday could be either Zero-day or Seven-day depending on your standard
way of doing things in your country/culture.
 
I'll copy your question and this answer to the list.  If I am remembering
wrong, someone will correct me.
