[uf-discuss] hCal: Lunar to Gregorian problem

[Brian Suda]

This is a known problem with Outlook[1]. The issue is that several
OPTIONAL fields are Required in Outlook, namely DTSTAMP and UID. I had
a look at your HTML and you seem to have them in there, so the next
common reason things failing is TIDY. To use XSLT the input HTML file
has to be XHTML. To do this, I pass the HTML through TIDY to make sure
it is XML.

When i pass your page through the w3c validator i get several
errors[2]. So TIDY is probably cleaning it up and losing some of the
invalid HTML where you have added Microformated properties.
