Section: 3.8.5.3

Original Text
-------------
      Every 3 hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on a specific day:

       DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:19970902T090000
       RRULE:FREQ=HOURLY;INTERVAL=3;UNTIL=19970902T170000Z

       ==> (September 2, 1997 EDT) 09:00,12:00,15:00

Corrected Text
--------------
      Every 3 hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on a specific day:

       DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:19970902T090000
       RRULE:FREQ=HOURLY;INTERVAL=3;UNTIL=19970902T210000Z

       ==> (September 2, 1997 EDT) 09:00,12:00,15:00

Notes
-----
The UNTIL rule part is specified with UTC time, which was four hours ahead of America/New_York on 19970902. So 170000Z would only be 1:00 PM on that day.

The corrected UNTIL rule matches the description (from 9 to 5).  Note that "UNTIL=19970902T190000Z" would have the same effect (the last event is at 3 PM in New York, which is 19:00 Z), but 21:00 Z is what matches the description.
