But the REPLY might be compiled for a wider range than was requested 
(for example, if the replying CUA has VFREEBUSYs cached for each month), 
and it would be useful to know the actual range it applies to.  If the 
inviter asks for freebusy time for one week, and can't come up with 
anything that matches, it'd be nice to know that it already has freebusy 
time for a whole month, and doesn't need to request it again.

On the other hand, if the request was for a whole month, and the 
replying CUA has VFREEBUSYs cached by week, the REPLY might contain 
multiple VFREEBUSYs, and it can use the DTSTART/DTENDs to assemble them.
