There is one important feature lacking in the use of time-shifted
clones as a way to generate repeating events: there is nothing to bind
individual instances into a collection. A common EVENTID property
would allow for the development of tools for handling a whole series
as a group to do things like deleting, shifting, and making other
changes en masse. It seems like a simple thing to add.
Flexibility like this is why I like working in org. I would move my
calendar to org if I were not stuck with outlook/exchange at work. I'm
still waiting for someone to create the ultimate org/exchange sync
solution.
