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.
