(I personally find some of the idiosyncrasies of our calendar to be a good thing — it provides variety.)

I don’t know, double-sabbath and ‘Worldsday’ seems like a win-win, non-zero-sum scenario. Plus, it’ll really stick it in the eye of the Pope: who will think he is infallible then?
Your link (alternatives to the Gregorian calendar) has an error in it.
I haven’t considered that; I have wondered, though, about how much simpler life would be if we used UTC time worldwide. I know it would be a big hassle for folks, but it seems like the end result would be simpler. There must be significant showstopping reasons not to do this (besides the cutover cost) but I haven’t thought of them.
