I need to read this again, probably, but on first reading my thought is that
instead of adding COLOR and anything else like it, we should instead have
style-by-reference:   perhaps VSTYLE with a URI value to reference a
standard stylesheet somehow?  My argument, in essence, is the one that has
followed markup for decades now - let's keep the presentation values
separated from the content, so that presentation can be changed without
content modification.

Hi Tim,
Just to be clear I think your commentary relates to a different draft 
(draft-daboo-icalendar-extensions-07) than the one Julian was commenting 
on, and in the original subject line.

In any case, your comments about a style sheet is valid - however, I would 
counter that clients have had the chance to do that via CATEGORIES to tag 
an event and a local styling option. None have done that to date (well the 
few I have looked at), yet use of color and image is something they have 
done. So I would prefer to stick with COLOR and IMAGE options in that draft 
and maybe, if clients want, consider a "style sheet" option for a future 
extension.

Timezones can (and do) change at very short notice in different parts of 
the world. Typically computer systems have timezone data cached as part of 
the OS, and only get updates when the OS is itself updated - often long 
after a timezone change has occurred or long after future events were 
booked but are now out of sync for participants in different timezones. To 
address that a number of folks in the calendaring and scheduling community 
have been working om a timezone service protocol - 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-douglass-timezone-service/> - our 
initial focus for that has been iCalendar (RFC5545) based VTIMEZONE 
component delivery to calendar and scheduling clients and servers. However, 
we would like to also deliver OS-style timezone data to devices to break 
out of the requirement for those to be updated only when the OS itself 
updates. For unix-based OS's that means being able to deliver "raw" 
zoneinfo" data over that protocol.

Anyway, if you are interested in that work please comment over on the 
ietf-calsify list (cc'd) - we (the authors of that draft) - intend to get 
it moving to last call soon. There are already several implementations that 
have undergone testing at the Calendaring and Scheduling Consortium 
(CalConnect) interop events, so we are happy with it, but would appreciate 
more feedback.
