[caldeveloper-l] DTSTART that doesn't match RRULE pattern

I agree with this.  The RDATE text includes, "The recurrence set generated with a "DTSTART" property value that doesn't match the pattern of the rule is undefined."  To me this means that an RRULE takes precedence; if an RRULE exists its first instance defines DTSTART, and RDATE is generated from there.
