Yep, making Sunday the zero'th day.

:) Nice try, but I'm afraid none of the data elements related to dates are zero-indexed (ie month 0, week 0, year 0, etc)

update: technically year 0 in ISO 8601 corresponds to year 1 BC

If you ask POSIX, or any date/time API that slavishly copies POSIX (say, java.util.Date or JavaScript's Date object), January is month 0.

This comment made my day. :-)
