[Ietf-calsify] Section 4.1.2 Multiple Values: LANGUAGE parameter

[Mike Douglass]

Would it make sense if all properties that can take a language parameter 
be allowed to appear multiple times?

Currently I can internally support multiple languages for a vevent 
description but there's no legal way to export the entire data as ics.

There's also no way via caldav for example to update more than one 
language in a single request

 RFC 2445 has the following properties with a language param:

 ATTENDEE    (cn param)
 CATEGORIES
 COMMENT
 CONTACT
 DESCRIPTION
 LOCATION
 ORGANIZER   (cn param)
 REQUEST-STATUS
 RESOURCES
 SUMMARY
 TZNAME
