UML reveals issue in WS-Calendar PSM

The detailed work of the PIM revealed some flaws in the PSM spec. Notably:

The degenerate bound intervals at the heart of FREEBUSY and AVAILABILITY are never adequately defined in the spec or in the Schemas.

The RRULES used in Availability are not adequately represented in VAVAILABILITY.

If these issues are interesting to you, I urge you to attend the workshop meeting tomorrow to discuss the implications for the PSM.
