Yes, I'm convinced now.  This is confusing me, too.  I hate American
computers that refuse to start the week on monday.  The first thing I
used to do under a new Linux installation was compile a new calender
program until other people made the standard distribution have a -m
option (for monday, obviously).

So, yes.  For week days, I'd now vote against numbers.

Because I hope all languages agree in the (modern) month numbers, I'd
still vote to enumerate them.

And make clocks have 24 hours.  Let that be grammatical! :-)
