This document defines a new iCalendar component that allows small "patches" to be applied to large iCalendar data objects, to allow for efficient data updates. It also describes how this new component can be used with the CalDAV calendar data access protocol .

Open Issues

  • Do we need/want to handle individual values in multi-valued properties/parameters?

  • What media type do we advertise in Accept-Patch header? Just text/calendar? Currently using text/calendar; component=VPATCH; optinfo=PATCH-VERSION:1
