Hello,

In October of 2006 I logged a bug about recurring events, and made 
multiple postings to this group about it.

http://code.google.com/p/google-gdata/issues/detail?id=25&can=2&q=

I stopped posting examples of RRULEs that Google fails to parse in 
Decembre 2006. I was under the assumption that these would be addressed 
shortly. It seems I was wrong.

There are several classes of recurring events that are very common. 
Here's an example:

RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=5;BYMONTHDAY=3

Google can not parse this. So Google can not support birthdays in this 
format.

Is the recommended best practice to methodically reverse engineer the 
limitations of Google's RRULE handling and then create complicated RRULE 
mappings to and from Google? I'd really like to know.

Please understand, I'm not trying to be rude or offend anyone at Google. 
A bug's a bug and all software has bugs. I'm just humbly curious why 
something so important like a birthday (lots of other use cases) is not 
supported - and after being raised as an issue 6 months ago no one has 
considered it a priority to fix.

Cheers.
