I think that rrule and exrule are still up for debate, if we follow
the same convention for this as other properties with attributes then
the values should be seperated from the property names (we currently
don't do this for TEL because there is only one property type 'TYPE'
but with RRULE there are several). Since these attributes also have
values, i think that they should be represented seperately nested
within the property.

For example:
<abbr class="dtstart" title="20050623T121000">12:10 pm</abbr> -
<abbr class="duration" title="PT40M">12:50 pm</abbr>
<span class="rrule">
<abbr class="freq" title="WEEKLY"/>
<abbr class="count" title="17"/>
<abbr class="interval" title="2"/>
<abbr class="byday" title="TH"/>
every other Thursday for 34 weeks</span>,

since each attrubute is independant of the others (IMHO) they should
be broken out. X2V currently does NOT support rrule because i think it
was dropped from the ICAL BASIC spec.

Does anyone else have a thought on how to encode the above?
