I was hoping I wasn't going to be the first person to question why
weeks had to have 7 days, or why the Gregorian Calendar was assumed
to be universal.

There are many fascinating proposals regarding calendar reform:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_reform

The one that got the most traction was eventually blocked on
religious objections, namely that it didn't have repeating 7-day
cycles:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Calendar

I've personally wanted to see a marriage of lunar and solar
calendars along a 19-year cycle:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metonic_cycle

Having said all of this, my own attempts to follow a non-gregorian
calendar, with or without Lojban, has been a struggle in
reconciling any new calendar system with the world's use of the
gregorian calendar.
