Martin's proposal was to make them children, which allows the most compact 
notation and is the most backward compatible. Otherwise you'd break backward 
compatibility, because you'd need to find some other way to store WHICH of the 
recurrences is being modified through the subevent.

It might be easier to do this by exclusion.

The two fields I don't think a subevent should be allowed to touch are

	recurrence 
	uid

and then we might want to mandate that two fields must be set, i.e.

	creation-date
	last-modification-date

to track when a subevent was spun off.

Best regards,
Georg
