Okay, I found a printout and googled for that page... Seems it was the 
conclusion of a discussion on ietf-calendar (which is a real goldmine of 
problems and clarifications of RFC 2445ff.) 

It was a clarification that RDATE with VALUE=DATE does inherit the time from 
DTSTART, while EXDATE with VALUE=DATE does not inherit the time and excludes 
all events on that given day. To exclude only one particular instance, you 
need to use VALUE=DATE-TIME:
http://tipi.sourceforge.net/doc/recur/apa.html


I suppose that the issues listed as "Incorporated" at 
http://www.softwarestudio.org/iCal/2445Issues.html are included in the latest 
draft? (Sorry, haven't checked it myself...). Also, several of the "Discuss" 
items there are really items that should be discussed and clarified in rfc 
2445bis.

Cheers,
Reinhold
