I started this discussion because in my professional life, I have 
conversations like this:
Project A will start in week 34 and last for 2 weeks, so be prepared to 
start project B in no later than week 37, etc, etc

I don't know what RRULE is.  What you're talking about is "advanced 
feature" for me :D

Don't worry, I don't use it either ^_^

It's OK.  I don't need it.  I just need what's written in the title of 
this thread:
Binding the "beginning of the week" property to a calendar, and as we've 
seen, probably also "first week of the year" property to the calendar as 
well.

Want me to file a request in bugzilla?
