Dear Shaheed,

This is indeed how the standards seem to suggest this should be handled. This 
is also how Kolab will handle it in the future, see 
http://wiki.kolab.org/KEP:3

Simply put:  The exception gets a recurrence id which is mapped to the 
date/time where the recurrence is NOT to occur, and then there is a subevent 
with that ID that can re-define individual fields of that event to contain the 
details of the change in recurrence, e.g. a new time and different room for the 
meeting.

As we are looking at bringing KCalCore to the server as well as are using it 
on the client, we're very interested in making sure it can handle this kind of 
scenario well.

So any work you do on this is much appreciated, and if you want to work 
together, please get in touch with either Christian Mollekopf and/or Jeroen 
van Meeuwen, both of who are on this list, I believe.

Best regards,
Georg
