[PHPiCalendar-DEV] Recurrence COUNT

[a.h.s. b. <spu...@no...>]

I just sent a note off to Apple's iCal feedback about the following, 
but I don't know if you've discussed this during phpiCalendar 
development.

The COUNT parameter of the recurrence rule is, according to RFC 2445, 
supposed to indicate the total number of events, including the parent 
event. Apple's iCal appears to misinterpret the rule, and uses COUNT to 
indicate the number of _child_ recurrences, excluding the original.

If you create a repeating event in iCal, and specify that it repeats 
daily "For 3 times", iCal produces a total of 4 events.

phpiCalendar parses the recurrence rule and creates only 3 events. 
While this is, in my opinion, the
proper interpretation, it does create a discrepancy between one's 
calendar in iCal, and the phpiCalendar version...which might confuse 
people.

Cheers,
spud.
