Sure, its easy to just tweak and tweak and tweak an RFC 2445 compliant engine to allow for 'minor' stuff like this but there has to be a limit to when you say that the poorly constructed generator needs to be fixed instead.

Granted the chances that Microsoft will fix Outlooks engine are not that great (do they even montior this list anymore??) but take it from someone who has to live with TONS of legacy tweaks; after a while the baggage of all the tweaking will catch up to ya and make you regret it.

Hmm, maybe Microsoft assumed that tzidparam was defined as "TZID" "=" param-value as I suggested elsewhere... Could it be they are ahead of us on this one?? ;^)
