[Kde-pim] Recurring entries in Calendars, with exceptions

Hi,

I've been looking into how Exchange handles exceptions to recurring
Calendar entries, and trying to map them to KCalCore. The basic notion
of having an Event with recurrences works fine, but the only support I
see for defining exceptions is to addExRule(RecurrenceRule). This is a
relatively poor fit for Exchange which support changes to the subject,
location and all sorts of other properties. OTOH, an exception in
Exchange has no ability to recur itself, which a RecurrenceRule can
clearly handle.

Roughly speaking, an exception in Exchange is a cut-down one-off
Event, rather than a RecurrenceRule.

Have I misunderstood how to use what is there, or are there any plans
to change the way exceptions work to allow them to have richer
semantics along the lines that Exchange supports?

Thanks, Shaheed
