Need another term for Julian date

["Gregory Sweet" <Gsweet -at- cdphp -dot- com>]

I've come across the term Julian date in some documents I'm editing and the author cleary does not mean a Julian date. The author wants the number of days since the begining of the year, not the number of days since January 1, 4713 B.C.

I've only been able to find one source that supports this usage and it lists the usage as a corruption of the term.

What say you?

Is this usage common enough that those reading the docs will get it or is there a better term to use to indicate number of days since January 0, CurrentYear?
