firstWeekday set to 2 #32

Just curious why firstWeekday is set to 2 instead of depending on NSLocale or [NSCalendar currentCalendar].

The ISO 8601 calendar is the Gregorian calendar with weeks starting on Monday. That's true no matter where the user is. The user's locale or calendar would be wrong for this purpose.

I don't know off-hand whether setting firstWeekday affects anything we care about, but until test coverage in the formatter class is much closer to 100%, I'm inclined to leave it.
