Re: [ws-calendar] Defining the Interval - critical

[William Cox <wtcox@CoxSoftwareArchitects.com>]

This is a great clarification, and clears up a number of misunderstandings.

Let's do it.

I suggest that this goes earlier rather than later - in PR02 I'd put it at the start of section 3 around line 310.  And needs the very high level of sequence there as well.

(we also need to fix the "recording and exchanging event information" on line 310 per comments, while I'm looking there.

Thanks!

Table 1-3 defines Interval as follows

 

The Interval is a single Duration derived from the common calendar Components as defined in iCalendar ([RFC5545]) and refined in [XCAL]. In Calendar systems, it is similar to the Component VTODO, but the constraints and conformance are different.

 

New verbiage, which should go somewhere

 

Note: An Interval is part of a Sequence. An entire sequence can be scheduled by scheduling a single Interval in a sequence. A Sequence can be scheduled multiple times through repeated reference by different Gluons. For this reason, of the three primary temporal elements (dtStart, dtEnd, and Duration) in a component, the Duration has primacy in Intervals. Within a Sequence, a maximum of a single Interval MAY have a dtStart or a dtEnd.

 

(where do we put this?)

 

If we agree to this language, many Jira comments can be addressed.
