I think his question is:
"How do I determine (automagically) what the first day of the week is,

I think he wants something like this:
Zend_Locale::setLocale( <LOCALE> );
Zend_Date::getFirstWeekday(); // returns 0 for Americas, 1 for Germany
Yes. Thank you for helping me to precise the question.
Sorry for not being eloquent enough.
Correct me if I'm wrong,
but I think it's currently not possible with Zend_Date.
It is possible.
But your expectations are wrong. ;-)
I looked into Zend/Locale/Data xmls,
but among lots of options there is no: <firstWorkDayOfTheWeek>
or anything similar to this.
Then take a deeper look into "week".
BTW, Is it cultural / religion related/ local law related topic?
For instance, see this article: http://www.cjvlang.com/Dow/SunMon.html
It's a regional topic.
For more informations look into unicodes database: http://unicode.org/cldr
