That is my sense, Bill, but I am trying to make sure.For this conversation, assume UTC, leaving out DST and related issues. I’m looking for whether there should be a deeper meaning when applied to services. For people, if a CalConnect meeting starts at 12:00 and goes for an hour, one could argue that since they always start at 12:05, this means that it is scheduled until 1:05….For services, I am interested in what is the required / expected state of the service at 3:01.Let’s say I schedule a room for 78 degrees between 2-3.Let’s say I schedule the same room for 72 degrees between 3-4.Let’s say that I know it takes 10 minutes to go between the temperatures.If the first schedule is in response to DR for Energy, then I am committed to not setting the thermostat *until* 3:00If the second schedule is in response to CEO arriving for a meeting, then I am committed to getting the room temperature down *by* 3:00"If something is not worth doing, it`s not worth doing well" - Peter DruckerToby Considine

Subject: Re: [ws-calendar] Is there a difference?I think that "support" and "the profile says use this" are two different things.
I would suggest listing only A and B, and preferably only one (profiling as well as extending) so there's a consistent representation.
I see no real difference between A and B.
Allowing the higher expessivity is fine for human calendars as the interpretation is done by calendar software. For the energy/building uses, a single canonical representation is appropriate.
Thanks!

Does B have a finite stop and A does not?Why would we support both? tc“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it” -- Upton Sinclair.
