    For example, England never used the Emacs Julian calendar:
    before 1752, English years started on March 25, and after
    1752 England used Gregorian.  The Holy Roman Empire used the
    Emacs Julian calendar for only four decades, from 1544 to
    1582.

That is a cryptic statement -- you're making some distinction that you
have not explained.

Please explain your distinction if you would like to convince people
with it.
