    // Some notes:
    //
    // The way I read ICAL, RECURRENCE-ID is used to specify a
    // particular instance of a recurring event, according to the
    // RRULEs/RDATEs/etc. specified in the base event.  If one of
    // these is to be changed ("an exception"), then it can be
    // referenced via the UID of the original event, and a
    // RECURRENCE-ID of the start time of the instance to change.
    // This, to me, means that an event where one of the instances has
    // changed to a different time has a RECURRENCE-ID of the original
    // start time, and a DTSTART/DTEND representing the new time.
    //
    // ITIP, however, seems to want something different -- you're
    // supposed to use UID/RECURRENCE-ID to select from the current
    // set of occurrences of an event.  If you change the DTSTART for
    // an instance, you're supposed to use the old (original) DTSTART
    // as the RECURRENCE-ID, and put the new time as the DTSTART.
    // However, after that change, to refer to that instance in the
    // future, you have to use the modified DTSTART as the
    // RECURRENCE-ID.  This madness is described in ITIP end of
    // section 3.7.1.
    //
    // This implementation does the first approach (RECURRENCE-ID will
    // never change even if DTSTART for that instance changes), which
    // I think is the right thing to do for CalDAV; I don't know what
    // we'll do for incoming ITIP events though.
