Hi Neal,

To find the language about this, you have to look in the (not
intuitively located) VEVENT definition. It says:
The "DTSTART" property for a "VEVENT" specifies the inclusive start
of the event. For recurring events, it also specifies the very first
instance in the recurrence set. The "DTEND" property for a "VEVENT"
calendar component specifies the non-inclusive end of the event.
It doesn't say anything specific about DATE valued events, so DTEND is
always exclusive.
In practice, Apple's iCal always exports one-day all-day events with an
explicit DTEND of the day after the start. I scratched my head about
that for a while, too, till I looked in VEVENT.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Harris
