OK, I entered:
<h1 class="summary">My Irregular Meeting</h1>
<div>
<b>Dates:</b>
<abbr class="rdate" 
title="2009-04-12T1400/2009-04-12T1800,2009-05-10T1400/2009-05-10T1800,2009-06-14T1400/2009-06-14T1800,
2009-07-12T1400/2009-07-12T1800,2009-08-09T1400/2009-08-09T1800,2009-09-14T1400/2009-09-14T1800,
2009-10-11T1400/2009-10-11T1800">

Which at least looks OK (I think).

which misses out the RDATE stuff entirely.
Unfortunately the output from Tails was accepted neither by Sunbird 0.9 
nor by Google calendar.
I really think that I am an amateur trying to use routinely something at 
the bleeding edge. I need to ignore the alligators and get back to 
draining the swamp.
Thank you all very much for trying to assist a newbie to this, but I 
think I will tell folk to look up Google calendars if they want to 
import stuff.
