Noted, although 'discussion' of fiat calendars would only amount to a
couple of sentences, perhaps at most a short paragraph.

As far as determining the calendar, that's either done by implication
throughout the article, or becomes more appropriate for a separate article
in Traveller By The Byte.

That's not really a calendar, so much as an extended clock/timer - you
don't say "My birthday is every 31.5 megaseconds at kilosecond 36." Even
H.Beam Piper's use of hours instead of seconds in _Four Day Planet_ was
really clock/timer rather than calendar.
