Yes, and that's the point you miss.

If you share your calendar with me, and if I open it, and suppose for me 
Sunday is the BOTW, then on my screen, every week start on Sunday.

I don't understand of your adjective "irrelevant"...

Not only for Sunday.  It could be everyday!

Do you know that there are many standards for "first week of the year"? 
  We have:
1 - 1st January indicates first week of the year
2 - First week must contain at least 4 days
3 - First full week

Take the simple case where 1st January is a Sunday and first week of the 
year contains 1st January (#1 above).

If BOTW = Sunday
   Week 1 contains 1st Jan (Sun), 2nd Jan (Mon), 3rd Jan (Tue), 4th Jan 
(Wed), etc

If BOTW = Monday
   Week 1 contains 1st Jan (Sun) only
   Week 2 contains 2nd Jan (Mon), 3rd Jan (Tue), 4th Jan (Wed), etc

OK, thanks.  Since that comment is a "small drop inside a big pool of 
water", I don't think it got much attention.  Let's make a new bug on 
this matter, OK?
