Ah ok, so there are indeed differences for display vs defining
recurrence rules. If all you really want is to be able to create rules
that repeat for example:

"YEARLY, in calendar weeks 24,28,32 for the case where start of week is
SUNDAY"

then this can be expressed with a RRULE:

RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYWEEKNO=24,28,32;WKST=SU

Then, no matter if you or your partners have the view set to start with
Sunday or Monday, it will always display correctly.

I don't think we currently allow creating such advanced rules through
the UI, because its usually an edge case (most folks enter their
meetings through specific dates instead of week numbers).

I believe we have more than one bug open for more advanced recurrence
rules. Again, if this is all you really need then I think an extension
that adds additional recurrence rules to the UI would be the best option.
