In 3.3 Basic Recurrence Rule Grammar, I see a potential problem (as I
already discussed with Derek): while you're referring ISO8601 (which clearly
states that Monday is the first day of the wek, and Sunday the last), your
specification doesn't state it, and your grammar may incorrectly lead an
uninformed person to think that Sunday would be the first day of the week

<FRD>Yes, ISO 8601, clause 5.2.3, uses Monday as the start of the week for the "day of the week" notation. We are not using this representation currently in the iCal specification. We are using "calendar date and time of day with UTC offset". The recurrence grammar does not currently use the ISO 8601 representation. Currently, the recurrence grammar is a separate notation for recurrence.
