[Ietf-calsify] Multiple iCalendar Objects

[Chris_Stoner at notesdev.ibm.com]

That's a good point.  So you mean that if I have a handheld device and I
want to pull down my January 2006 calendar, I would want to tranfer in one
shot with many iCalendar objects, each having a method param telling me how
to display this?

Is that paraphrased about right?  Seems like a good use case to me!
