Which hath but twenty-nine, to be (in) fine;
Till leap year gives the whole week READY:

No. Metric Week is the calendar week that contains Oct. 10th.
� It should be a 10 day celebration.
The practice of celebrating things by choosing a whole week (or a whole month or a whole day) to commemorate them is rather well established. So, if it is specified to be a week, it can't be 10 days.
Of course one could certainly promote a "metric decaday" if one wished. I frankly don't think it matters much.
