Re: SEQUENCE number on recurrences

[sman@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Steve Mansour)]

So, to summarize, the sequence number is always the same for all instances,
and it must always be the highest sequence number. Right?

First component to set a Thursday PR telecon:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
...
METHOD:REQUEST
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20000217T160000Z
DTEND:20000217T170000Z
SUMMARY:Press Conference
UID:123
ORGANIZER:foo@xxxxxxxxx
ATTENDEE;RSVP=FALSE:prcorp@xxxxxxxxx
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

Second component to add a Friday follow-on:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
...
METHOD:ADD
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20000218T160000Z
DTEND:20000218T170000Z
SUMMARY:Press Conference
UID:123
SEQUENCE:1
ORGANIZER:foo@xxxxxxxxx
ATTENDEE;RSVP=FALSE:prcorp@xxxxxxxxx
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

Third component to change the time of Friday's follow-on:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
...
METHOD:REQUEST
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20000217T170000Z
DTEND:20000217T173000Z
SUMMARY:Press Conference
UID:123
RECURRENCE-ID:20000217T170000Z
SEQUENCE:2
ORGANIZER:foo@xxxxxxxxx
ATTENDEE;RSVP=FALSE:prcorp@xxxxxxxxx
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

At this point (read Frank with green face, I now agree!) all of the recurrence instances for VEVENT, UID:123, RECURRENCE-ID:whatever have SEQUENCE:2. Any iTIP for this VEVENT with a SEQUENCE < 2 will be stale and can be ignored.

We had discussed this precise case when progressing iTIP. Thanks for the patience, Doug!
