RE: SEQUENCE Number

[pregen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

If this was not specifically addressed in the draft, does it need to be?

Frank,
Thanks for the clarification.  I see no problems with this approach.  I had originally thought there could be a sequence for each occurrence but I think it makes sense the way it is.  I didn't see it specifically addressed in the spec but the examples show it fairly well.  I just wanted to be sure.
 
Thanks,
Dan Hickman

Dan:

Correct. The sequence number applies to any modifications for the whole event definition. A change to an initial event definition to, say add (via the ADD method) an occurrence, would monotonically increment the sequence number. Effectively, the sequence number represents the revision sequence for the whole event definition.

Note: The UID applies to the whole occurrence set (or whole event) also.

Hope this helps. Did you see a problem with this architectural element?
