[Ietf-calsify] Question about attachment

[Bernard Desruisseaux]

I agree that the ATTACH property should provide support for
parameters to specify information like filename and size
the same way that RFC 2183 does for the Content-Disposition
header:

     disposition-parm := filename-parm
                       / creation-date-parm
                       / modification-date-parm
                       / read-date-parm
                       / size-parm
                       / parameter

We should discuss which parameter we would like iCalendar
to support? I'm not sure we need a "read-date" parameter...

Cheers,
Bernard

Since attachment can be binary and external link in iCalendar.$B!!(BIs there a principle when a attachment should be a external link? Size limited or based on user's preference? Can a doc with 10M size be attached internal?
