I think "majority" would be better than "greater part" but it still lacks a real description for the option. I don't think it is reasonable to expect people to understand the finer points of ISO 8601. Upstream tzcode also refers to the %V option which has a description of ISO 8601 week numbers. Perhaps we should just update our manual based on that. - todd
