Jason,

yes, I think it is a blueprint to define periods through the user 
interface. In this particular case, we work around it by using standard 
ISO-weeks to approximate the caribbean sunday-saturday 4-weekly reporting.

But the monday-sunday is not so standard as it appears. A lot of middle 
eastern countries have saturday as first day of the week, and a lot of 
countries in the Americas have sunday (like the caribbean). Then there 
are also other rules for numbering weeks. Luckily, months and years are 
a bit more standardized.

Has anyone else encountered this requirement?
Johan
