As far as I'm concerned, if we're going to make divisions every hundred years, it makes more sense to make those based on the change in decimal dates, not the n-hundredth anniversary of the year 1 AD. The 21th century began on January 1, 2000; by a quirk of how we count years, the 1st century was 99 years long.
