 Umm no.  Much as I'm proud that you like my suggestion, that will NOT work,
for the same reason as the original question of xorxes (paraphrastically
"Isn't it confusing for cultures who use the different numbering schemes?").
 If we all agree that today is xundei, then what is 9 days from now?  The
7-day weekers will say "peldei, while the 9-day weekers will say "xundei".
 Standards are standard for a reason.  My aim was to establish a standard
that doesn't conflict with already existing cultural standards.  And really,
is there much variation in week length around the world currently?  It seems
that except for the 25 million Igbo's traditional 4 day week, we aren't
stepping on many currently-extant calendrical toes here.  And also (I say,
tongue-in-cheekily), with the widespread availability of colored printers,
monitors and copiers, we can save room in dates by saying, for example Oct
9, 2010 instead of "Wednesday, Oct 9, 2010" :-)

  Really, is there anything wrong with universal standards?  That's why we
have timezones, airport codes, radio frequency etc. etc.
