Since Mr. Lowry is from Canada, let me point him to the
goverment council responsible for measurement in Candada,

Subject: as of present time, is it still true that 4000 A.D. will NOT be a
leap year?
Hello ... I can not find an authoritative source.
I have been under the impression that 4000 A.D. is an exception
to the divisible by 400 rule and therefore 4000 will NOT be a leap year.
Unfortunately Wikipedia is not authoritative. A number of sources
I've found via Google seem to be quoting each other.
Will 4000 be a leap year?
(If yes, then we have a year 4000 problem ~~ not that that will affect all
of us alive today;
with advances in modern science, if we do not destroy each other and/or the
planet,
it may be a problem for some of us, or at least some of our descendants.)
Thank you.
Regards,
Gerry (Lowry)
