I think that if we display the date clearly at the top of the Preview, 
we do not need to visually mark the day in the minical. That way we can 
also have the summary work also when in the Calendar app. The whole 
problem we have right now is that the minical is used to select the 
"current day" of the summary and the "current week" of the calendar.

So I'd choose a mash-up of Alternate design 1 and 2... :) i.e.:
- allow the minical to be clicked to select a date anywhere. This sets 
the date for the summary but doesn't add any markup in the minical. Note 
that it also selects the week when in Calendar mode.
- display the date at the top of the Preview
