--------------------------------------
Status: Rejected
Type: Technical

Reported by: Lars Henriksen <LarsHenriksen@get2net.dk>
Date Reported: 2020-06-23
Rejected by: Francesca Palombini (IESG)

Section: 3.8.5.3

Original Text
-------------
      Daily until December 24, 1997:

       DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:19970902T090000
       RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;UNTIL=19971224T000000Z

       ==> (1997 9:00 AM EDT) September 2-30;October 1-25
           (1997 9:00 AM EST) October 26-31;November 1-30;December 1-23

Corrected Text
--------------
      Daily until December 24, 1997:

       DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:19970902T090000
       RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;UNTIL=19971224T140000Z
                                       ^^
       ==> (1997 9:00 AM EDT) September 2-30;October 1-25
           (1997 9:00 AM EST) October 26-31;November 1-30;December 1-24
                                                                     ^^

Notes
-----
The UNTIL rule part has value type DATE-TIME (same as DTSTART), but the introductory text "Daily until December 24, 1997" mentions a DATE only. Assuming that "until", like UNTIL, is inclusive, I would expect

    (1997 9:00 AM EST) December 24

to be the last instance, i.e. the unstated time is 9:00 AM. Translating to UTC you get

    19971224T140000Z

The same error occurs in all examples of section 3.8.5.3 with "December 24, 1997", four in all: pages 123 (above), 125 (twice) and 126. The resulting occurrences are only affected for pages 123 and 125 (second).
 --VERIFIER NOTES-- 
The example is correct as-is.  UNTIL does not have to match the recurrence pattern.
