  • 1.  How degenerate can a partition be?

    Posted 08-08-2010 16:17 
    In WD08, we use Partition to describe a series of nearly identical time slices. 15 minute pricing for the day is an example of the use of Partitions.
    Can we leave out Duration entirely from the VTODO object that expresses each interval in a Partition? It his legal only in Partitions, and if so, dues the Duration expressed for the first Interval hold for all others. Does this cause any problems for the XCal processors?
    The follow on question, of course, is if the Duration attribute is optional for all Intervals after the first one in a Partition, Is its use forbidden in all Intervals after the first one in a Partition

    If we define a partition in a more general
sense as a set of consecutive intervals wherein the end of one interval is
coincident with the start of the next then the case where every interval in a
partition has the same duration is a special degenerate case which probably
merits removing the duration parameter from all the intervals.  On the
other hand if we want to allow partitions with intervals of different durations
the duration parameter will need to stay.
