Because the text says "recurrence rules" and not "recurrence and exclusion 
rules".  An EXRULE is an _exclusion_ rule, RRULE is a _recurrence_ rule. 
Both are examples of properties that use the recurrence rule grammar.  CAP 
is unclear on which its referring to and some could incorrectly infer the 
wrong choice from what we intended (more easily than misunderstanding the 
meaning of "original").  If you do not understand the difference then 
perhaps we need to get someone to help co-edit CAP who  does.

Doug seems to have a perchant for missing points.  I just told you my 
suggestion: we need to answer the discrepancy between Purpose and 
Description.

Is the purpose of RECUR-ACCEPTED to be all different kinds of recurrence 
or just recurrence rules (RRULEs)?  I suspect the Purpose is accurate and 
Description is just poorly phrased but thats just me.   Anyone think that 
the Description is correct and that Purpose is poorly phrased?
