[BLUG] Time for a discussion on time

I'm sorry but I have a problem with this:

date +"date: %Y %m %d, Standard week number: %W of %Y, ISO week number %V of %G"
date: 2007 12 31, Standard week number: 53 of 2007, ISO week number 01 of 2008

IMHO, week numbers should only refer to the current year because
that's really the only place they are useful, in dividing up the year.
Obviously in human terms, this week is made up of two different years,
but in computer terms, that is too confusing. If I run a command that
returns 200801, that tells me that its already 2008, but its not.

Thoughts?
