start-date and end-date mandatory for events

It looks like there is a small ambiguity in the events format
specification.  The "default not present" could lead to missinterpretations
for the event as I do not think there are appointment without those tags.

They both are mandatory as already somehow pointed out by 
that they are not in curly brakets. I also do not think that 
empty is okay for those tags.

Thus I am going to commit the following change:
