It goes further than that as iTIP says that when the SEQUENCE changes
then all older objects are obsolete. And SEQUENCE can be incremented
for more than instance changes.

And as all changes to any instance (single or all) require that the
SEQUENCE must be incremented, then yes the old instances are obsolete
and must be nuked. So according to iTIP it is the fact that the SEQUENCE
number got bumped that causes the old obsolete objects (instances
and all) to get nuked. However if no instance is changed and for other
reasons the SEQUENCE is incremented, then it is just a coincidence
that the RECURRENCE-IDs in the old nuked objects just happen to be
the same as the ones in the new object.

I know that there may be more screams that this issues will not
go away. But it really needs to be settled.

Despite the claims on this list, it appears that almost everyone
agrees that the RECURRECE-ID's do change and must change.

I think that proof is:

So your first invitation is to:

                     UID:100
                     SEQUENCE:0
                     DATE:...sep-1...10am...

Then you get:

                     UID:100
                     SEQUENCE:1
                     RRULE;FREQ=DAILY;COUNT=10
                     DTSTART:...sep-2...3pm

                What is the RECURRENCE-ID for the 1st object?
                  ...sep-1...10am... Correct?

So which of the 10 instances has its RECURRENCE-ID fixed to the 1st
object?

What are the 10 RECURRENCE-ID's for the 2nd object?

Does anyone still think that RECURRENCE-ID's do NOT change?
