Dear Pierpaolo,
This thread was only about Julian and Gregorian calendar dates. If and how other calendar models should be supported in some future is another (potentially big) discussion. As you said, there are many issues there. Let's first make sure that we handle the "easy" 99.9% of cases correctly before discussing any more complicated options.
Just for future reference, if anyone's interested, THE book on this topic is "Calendrical Calculations".
Alas, their code is closed-source, but the book is still the best reference I know of.
