You could maybe include the International days observed by the UN? http://www.dakar.unesco.org/journees_un/journees_en.shtml They are not public holidays at all, but they could be useful.
I don't think http://www.world-calendar.com/ is acurate either but it mentions papers from http://emr.cs.iit.edu/home/reingold/calendar-book/papers/ and it seems like a good place to look for patterns (the claimed public holidays are in red).
