Please re-read 14652 about week:
If the keyword is not specified the values are taken as 7, 19971130
(a Sunday), and 7 (Saturday), respectively. ISO 8601 conforming
applications should use the values 7, 19971201 (a Monday), and 4
(Thursday), respectively. This keyword is optional.
Hence 1 can designate a Sunday (default value), or a Monday (ISO 8601
behavior), or actually anything else (other week systems).
Regards,
Samuel
