It can be, however the CU may wish to do that to their own
copy of the ORGANIZER object in the CU's calendar :-)

There are three issues.

	(1) How do I store un-processed iTIP requests in my calendar.

	(2) How do I store the results of MY procesing iTIP requests
            in MY calendar?

        (3) How do I directly update MY PARTSTAT in the ORGANIZERs
	    (or some other) calendar? (not my calendar).

UPDATEPARTSTATUS applies to (3).

If I connect to the ORGANIZERs calendar.
Authenticate.
Ask if I can update my PARTSTAT - yes.
I update it.

Correct. But UPDATEPARTSTATUS is for B and C to be able
to update A directly.

Don't forget about METHOD:PUBLISH objects, that do not
follow the same rules as METHOD:REQUEST objects.
