 .. note::
 
-   Like Python's datetime, mpl uses the Gregorian calendar for all conversions
-   between dates and floating point numbers. This practice is not universal,
-   and calendar differences can cause confusing differences between what
-   Python and mpl give as the number of days since 0001-01-01 and what other
-   software and databases yield.  For example, the `US Naval Observatory
-   <http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications/data-services/jul-date>`_
-   uses a calendar that switches from Julian to Gregorian in October, 1582.
