More specifically, RFC3339 dates, which are ISO8601 with a lot of extraneous cruft (week of year? really?) removed.

Week numbers are a very common way of talking about time in some locales.

For instance in my native Sweden, it's very common when e.g. scheduling things at work to talk about which week something will happen.

Sites like http://vecka.nu make it easy to check the current week number (the domain name translates as "week.now") whenever you have internet access, paper calendars include it, and so on. It's really very common.
