I suppose the following would indicate intended, more elegant usage:

  <event>
    ...
    <recurrence>
      ...
      <exception datetime="DATE" creation-date="DATE" />
    </recurrence>
  </event>

As opposed to:

  <event>
    ...
    <recurrence>
      ...
      <exclusion>datetime
        <creation-date>DATE</creation-date>
      </exclusion>
    </recurrence>
  </event>

Kind regards,

Jeroen van Meeuwen
