Subject: Doug Royer's iCalendar PUBLISH

Folks:

I pointed out that Doug Royer's iCalendar object representing the next CAP design meeting was non-conformant. Let me try to clarify.

The use of the LOCAL TIME format in the first VEVENT in the iCalendar object was okay. What wasn't okay was the second VEVENT object. It specifies a recurring event. As we all know, the decision was made to restrict LOCAL TIME formats from the DTSTART, DTEND, DUE properties for VEVENTs, VJOURNALs or VTODOs that represent a recurring calendar component. This latter one should have been specified in either UTC or LOCAL TIME PLUS TIMEZONE IDENTIFIER. 

Hope that this is clearer.
