This is a very small thing, but it came up today for me, so I thought I'd
mention it. (Org 9.4.2, for the record.)
I've just started playing with the iCalendar export because eventually I want
to keep everything in Org, to then get transformed and pushed to my CalDAV
server, which then gets pushed to my phone.
So after reading the docs[1][2] I created a minimal org file, which as it
happens only had a single time for the single event in it. I tried to export
via C-c C-e c f, and immediately got an error that
org-agenda-default-appointment-duration wasn't set (which was perfectly true, I
hadn't set it and it defaults to nil). So after looking at that variable's
documentation, just to make sure it was well-named and didn't do something
strange, I set it and went on about my merry way. As I say, a very small
thing. I mention it only because it was slightly irritating that after actually
taking the time to read the documentation, I still had to troubleshoot (if you
want to call it that) briefly.
All of which leads up to: my suggestion is that either that
org-agenda-default-appointment-duration have an actual default value, or else
that [2] should mention that one might want to set it.
