Q. Why do the Calendars (non-continue-style) have an xtra row of empty cells after the last day of the month?

Hi,
That is because certain month spans over 5 weeks and certain month spans over 6 weeks. For example, April, 2009 spans over 5 weeks, but May, 2009 spans over 6 weeks. As a result, all Calendar are rendered with rooms for 6 weeks because otherwise when you scroll from a 5 week month to a 6 week month (for example, scrolling from April, 2009 to May 2009), the Calendar would have to resize itself to accommodates. Obviously that is not good.
Thanks!

On top of that, bare in mind that starting week day varies across cultures, which impacts same month as well. Consider this month; March 2009 for example, which started on Sunday.
In a US calender where week starts on Sunday, first day of the month occupies first cell of first row, leaving last row empty. In a Europeans calender where week starts on Monday, first day of the month will occupy last cell of first row. Last 2 days of March occupy first 2 cells of last row!
A smart implementation by EO no doubt...
