Defining the Interval - critical
Hi,

2 remarks:
-
This change has the disadvantage of losing the reference to iCal/xCal. Shouldn’t we add somewhere a reference table for mapping of iCal/xCal and WS-Calendar ? I cannot find it, maybe it is already there ?
-
Is it 100% true that an interval is part of a sequence. Is it forbidden to bind an interval directly to a gluon, without an intermediate Sequence element ?

Regards

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

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.
