I like the idea of a separate SRULE. It allows you to declare series of 
recurring events. That way you can specify more complex recurrence 
patterns which you can't express with a single RRULE. For instance, an 
event recurring every 1st Monday of June for three days or an event 
recurring on eight consecutive days starting every other week.
