Schema for Recurrence and PIM

A VAvailability consist of some annotation and a set of one to many Avaliabilities.

Is there any difference between an Avaiability and a Recurrence? TO be specific, is this true:


<!--
Properties that take a recurrence value
-->

<  xs:element
name  ="  availability  "
type  ="  mpsm:RecurrenceType  "/>

If these definitions are already in place:


<  xs:element
name  ="  recurrence  "
type  ="  mpsm:RecurrenceType  "/>

<  xs:complexType
name  ="  RecurrenceType  ">

<  xs:annotation  >

<  xs:documentation
>  The Recurrence Type consists of a seed date or date-time, rules to compute compute off-sets of that seed date, an optional end or final boundary to the series, and optional exclusions, i.e., dates to be skipped. See RFC 5545 section 3.3.10 for a discussion.

There is no rule specifying the order for serializing rules; in whaterver order they appear, they must be processed in the order specified for processing rule parts in RFC5545.See RFC 5545 section 3.3.10 for a discussion.  </  xs:documentation  >
