The current version feels odd to me as well.

I would naturally interpret it along the lines of: MO = MO(0) = this 
Monday = today, or the nearest Monday in the future.

Then MO(+1) would be the next Monday after MO(0). In other words, the 
parameter becomes a standard offset from the current week, rather than 
using a positive 1-based count, and a negative 0-based offset.

Regards,
Nick.
