Well, I'm in early stages of design. Just playing around, no specification
yet, so I'm not too worried. I'm throwing ideas around.

Well I'm trying to do the same thing here. I store the rule for expansion of
dates, let's say:

repeats weekly, tuesdays and thursdays, starts on date x, ends never, etc...

Since I'm not storing every instance, it's impossible and impractical, there
is an infinity, I need to "expand" these dates to show as table cells when
needed...

Anyway, I thought it through again and it really isn't that impractical,
because, let's say I have twenty different repeating events that never end.
There will be periodicity when they occur and I won't need to recalculate
the number of rows for each section.

Sorry.
