Not that I have any say, but I vote for Date/Holidays since everyone will at least have an idea what the package is. --Joe > "Cipriano Groenendal" <cipri@cipri.com> escribió > >> > I think the "standard" definition of a holiday is a banking holiday. >> Of >> > course that is based in the countries I know of, so I'm not sure if >> it's > a >> > general rule. >> http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=holiday >> >> 1.
