So how would you deal with the fact that a tropical year will *never* divide evenly into days no matter how you twist and turn it? In my calendar I've addressed this problem at its root: instead of starting with the day as the basic unit and trying to pack days into years like other calendars do (doomed to failure because of the above), I start with the year as the basic unit (actual astronomically determined tropical years starting at Ostara, the vernal equinox), divide the year into dates mathematically (without regard to actual solar days), and then *map* days to dates as a separate function.
