Hi,

    I need a bit of help understanding RFC 2445 sections 4.3.10 and 4.8.5.4 on recurrence rules. My question is how is the use of DTSTART to be interpreted. If I give a recurrence rule which specifies some event that happens every 6th day of the month by say: RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;BYMONTHDAY=6
Also if start time is August 1, 2002 i.e DTSTART:20020801T000000.

At what times should this rule "fire" or what is the expansion of this rule assuming today is July 24, 2002.

Is it Aug 1, 2002
          Aug 6, 2002
         Sept 6 2002 ...

or is it Aug 6, 2002
          Sept 6, 2002 ...

Is DTSTART to be considered the first time the rule will "fire".

Thanks,
Siddhartha.
