Of course nothing works if you send your changing
recurrence ids.   This is not the iCalendar RFC 2445 model.


  recurrence set is referenced by referring to just the "UID" property
  value corresponding to the calendar component. The "RECURRENCE-ID"
  property allows the reference to an individual instance within the
  recurrence set.

  If the value of the "DTSTART" property is a DATE type value, then the
  value MUST be the calendar date for the recurrence instance.

  The date/time value is set to the time when the original recurrence
  instance would occur; meaning that if the intent is to change a
  Friday meeting to Thursday, the date/time is still set to the
  original Friday meeting.

RECURRENCE-ID ARE SUPPOSE TO BE THE     "ORIGINAL"    dates of the  "ORIGINAL"  repeat set.
If you send your changing  values as recurrence ids to a properly coded iCalendar, of course you will not work correctly.

And what about the example I sent to this list that shows how
your model broken in that area? You know the one that showed
that new attendess in your model can not process instance
changes unless they just happen to be the same as the SEQUENCE:0 instances?

Except all of your examples were how to modify an existing VEVENT
and you called it inviting a new attendee. There is no problem
to solve, just send them a VEVENT with NO RECURRENCE-ID as all
of the examples in iCAL and iTIP show and every thing works.
There is no need to invent a new way to invite an ATTENDEE.
