I think you might want to add a line to getFullWeek just before the return to correct ISO dates currently coming out as W0 rather than the last week of the previous year:

    var y = d.getFullYear();
    if (w) return { y: y, w: w };
    return getWeeksInYear(y - 1); // 2000-01-01 = 1999W52, for instance

If I run this code today (4th January 2016), it returns week number 2 and not 1...
