A very interesting idea, which led me to think of an idea that might be
of more interest to the present-day Bahai:
Take the Bahai 19 days x 19 months with 4 or 5 days left over, and make
it a leap month calendar where the leap month has 19 days, applying a
leap month positioning and naming scheme that is similar your Old New
Earth Calendar idea. Such a calendar may appeal to the Bahai because
it takes the orphaned "days of awe" (sorry folks, I know that those a
really Holy Days, not days "in limbo") and converts them into a fully
intact month, preserving the use of the 19 throughout the calendar
(except that leap years would have 20 months). They might also like to
see the number 19 factored into the leap cycle as many times as
possible.
