Someone pointed me to this icalendar file of Australian holidays for a
test case:
http://icalx.com/public/rohanl/Australian32Holidays.ics
This contains NO VTIMEZONE components, but does have the calendar property:
X-WR-TIMEZONE:Australia/Sydney
Googling indicates that this is a non-standardized property, but it
seems to be used by several calendar apps including Apple's ical.app
and Google calendar.
I know that it's non-standard, but it seems to be somewhat important
for interoperability. I'm looking for some kind of information about
what it means in general.
It seems to indicate a default tzid for the whole calendar. In the
absence of timezone components I'm not sure how to interpret the tzid,
though.
Australia/Sydney IS a time zone identifier in the Olsen database, is
it standard practice to use olsen tzids in X-WR-TIMEZONE calendar
attributes?
I know that this is a bit off-topic for the group but I'm not sure
where else to find a group of RFC 2445 experts.
