Yes, that's fine with me; so I guess this bug can be closed.

By the way, Paul, since you seem to be the (a?) local expert on
time-related stuff: I think I am getting close to having a working
implementation of iCalendar recurrence rules, which are needed to have
fully working semantics for iCalendar date-time values (because time
zone definitions use recurrence rules). But the code has been difficult
to write and I would really appreciate having an expert look over it
when it's ready...would you have any time for that in the nearish future?
