While not commonly used, one often comes across official dates for various things being given in the National calendar around here. It's usually a pain to convert, so thank you! :-)
I think it's accurate - after all, it's only a constant offset...
More interesting would be the religious calendar - that one's luni-solar, and the months don't follow fixed lengths or fixed offsets, and if you were to go the whole way with that, even the time system should technically change. If you want to attempt it, I'd be glad to help in any way I can, including code, and working out the right formulas. It would be useful to a whole lot of people to have a searchable Panchangam...
Again, thank you for giving this neglected corner some attention...
Thanks, this fixes a glaring hole
