Actually, the iCalendar format is entirely correct. It might not be, what you 
expect, though.

According to the RFC, DTEND is the exclusive end. There's been a long 
discussion on the ietf-calsify list about that (every implementation out 
there implemented it like this, the RFC wasn't so clear cut, though), and the 
next version of rfc 2445 will clearly state this.

If opensync thinks that this is a two-day event, it's a bug there.

Cheers,
