I said "week-numbering year".  How can that phrase mean a kind of week?

The week-numbering year is the year to which the ISO week belongs.  Most of the time this 
corresponds to the actual year, but around year boundaries it sometimes differs by 1.  For 
example, week 52 of 2011 goes from 2011-12-26 to 2012-01-01 inclusive.  The last of these 
dates isn't in the calendar year 2011, but it is still in the ISO week 2011-W52, so the 
week-numbering year is 2011.
