...Ultimately, why is the Gregorian calendar good enough for the ISO but not us? I'm sure plenty of arguments were made to the ISO before ISO8601 was published, yet that still supports only the Gregorian calendar, having been revised twice since it's original publication in 1988. Is there really any need to go beyond what ISO 8601 supports?...
