** 3.3.1.1. Processing an "Attendee" reply **

When processing an attendee reply we have this MUST:
 <<

The server MUST send scheduling messages to all the other "Attendees"
   indicating the change in participation status of the "Attendee"
   replying, subject to the recurrence requirements of Section 3.5.1 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-desruisseaux-caldav-sched-05#section-3.5.1>.

 >>

Does this also apply to ATTENDEEs to whom the server has to send an iMIP 
message ? For a meeting with a large number of attendees, this might 
become really annoying.

** 6.1. CALDAV:schedule-calendar-transp Property **
What is the default value when not present ? opaque ?

** creation of attendee scheduling object resources **
<<

The creation of attendee scheduling object resources will typically
   be done by the server in cases where a default scheduling calendar
   collection is defined.  In cases where no default scheduling calendar
   collection is defined, the server MAY prevent calendar user agents
   from forging attendee scheduling object resources by forbidding their
   creation or imposing restrictions on their creation.  For instance, a
   server MAY require the presence of a scheduling message, received
   from the "ORGANIZER" with the same "UID" property value, in the
   scheduling Inbox collection of the owner of the scheduling calendar
   collection.

About "forbidding their creation": This would make it impossible for 
clients to process any "schedule-unprocessed" invitation so I think this 
case should be removed.

About "imposing restrictions" and the particular example that you take: 
The server would prevent clients from inserting any messages received 
through other means (e.g. iMIP message). So even a MAY does not sound right.
