OK. I just wanted to make sure that it *is* on someone's todo list

Sorry, deriving DOW from an arbitrary timestamps from arbitrary data
sources is either pretty time consuming (calendar calculations) or
simply hard to calculate.
Outside Org-mode, DOW is seldom part of time-stamp data :-(

Ack.

Ouch, ack :-)

Full ack.

YMMD :-)
If my brain would be compatible to ELISP, I'd send a patch.
Promised.
But I'll take my chance and wait for someone else (you?)
implementing 4. to resolve this issue for everybody. I really
appreciate every second you guys invest in maintaining Org-mode!
