    I added this TODO as a note about the ATTACH property to
    objects. This is intended to specify file attachments for
    objects--- perhaps an agenda, a document to be considered,
    something like that. MS Outlook/Exchange implements
    attachments poorly by allowing them to be executed. We need
    not to replicate their mistakes, but we do need to allow
    users of Net::ICal to access external files.

    This IMO isn't really an interop issue, unless an MS
    Exchange server passes iCal text with an attachment off to a
    program that uses Net::ICal, and Exchange expects that
    attachment to be executed by the receiver. But there's not
    much we can do about that.

    I don't think this is really my bug personally to deal with;
    it's more an "open issue" that should be dealt with when we
    implement ATTACH.
