Not sure which model you're talking about, but for a resource, all you need to 
worry about is setting the recurrenceId and thisAndFuture properties for 
exceptions to recurring events. Since KCalCore didn't support that so far the 
exchange resource likely didn't either. If you need additional apidocs for a 
specific part feel free to ask.

The specification for recurrenceId is here: 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545#section-3.8.4.4

Cheers,
Christian
