I just read through RFC 2445, section 4.2.19 deals with the TZID for events.

<quote>
The parameter MUST be specified on properties with a DATE-TIME value if the DATE-TIME is not either a UTC or a "floating" time.
</quote>

As all events in the phpgroupware calendar are stored as UTC this is not needed.

Section 4.3.5 deals with UTC time.  Using current stable CVS I checked and all events comply with the following requirement

<quote>
FORM #2: DATE WITH UTC TIME
The date with UTC time, or absolute time, is identified by a LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z suffix character (US-ASCII decimal 90), the UTC designator, appended to the time value. For example, the following represents January 19, 1998, at 0700 UTC:
     DTSTART:19980119T070000Z

Dirk,

Do you want to take a look at this one, i think it is an issue with class.[bo|ui]icalendar.inc.php

When exporting a calendar via calendar/ical.php, the resulting 'file' (or rather stream) does not contain any timezone information at all. The resulting iCalendar-format file should contain a VTIMEZONE section as well as TZID's with the start times of a VEVENT. This helps other programs (like Apple's iCal which I use) to properly display the entries.
