CLDR does not supply the algorithms for calendars, simply the data
needed to format/parse dates and times using that calendar. Thus the
definition of an additional calendar involves:
- defining a new keyword (name) for that calendar, with a brief textual
description -- just enough to distinguish it from others and references.
That gets added to the spec and to
http://unicode.org/cldr/data/common/supplemental/supplementalMetadata.xml.
(Best if there are references to a widely available source such as
Calendrical Calculations.)
- if there are named eras, supplying the "root" names
(http://unicode.org/cldr/data/common/main/root.xml)
For an example, search in both of those xml files for "japanese".
A proposal should be filed as a bug at
http://www.unicode.org/cldr/filing_bug_reports.html
