Subject: [calsify] JSCalendar: recurrence counts

This came up at last CalConnect:

JSCalendar objects explicitly allow to have a start date-time that
doesn't match the recurrence rule.  This is in contrast to iCalendar,
which left handling these cases undefined. A discussion arose if such a
non-matching start should count towards the recurrence rule count. The
majority leaned towards only counting the instances that are generated
by the RRULE. However, Neil found the following section in RFC5545:
      The COUNT rule part defines the number of occurrences at which to      range-bound the recurrence.  The "DTSTART" property value always
      counts as the first occurrence.

We therefore won't change the current JSCalendar recurrence draft.
Please let us you if you other thoughts.
