Notes
-----
The definition of icalbody shows that calendar properties precede components. Some components may contains sub-components. For those that may:

The definition of eventc (section 3.6.1 - Event Component) also shows that properties precede sub-components.

The definition of todoc (section 3.6.2 - To-Do Component) also shows that properties precede sub-components.

However, the definition of timezonec (section 3.6.5 - Time Zone Component) shows that properties and sub-components may be intermingled. The corrected text assumes this was not intended.
 --VERIFIER NOTES-- 
The current ABNF doesn't appear to cause any interop problems, given that both ical4j and libical don't care about the order of properties and components within a VTIMEZONE component.
