Yes I agree - I replied to that saying: 

It (they all) should say [iCAL], as in (fixed text below):

       The BEEP "MSG" messages can only contain MIME "multipart" MIME
       objects if the other endpoint has received a CAP "CAPABILITY"
       indicating the other endpoint supports multipart MIME objects. This
       does not prevent the endpoint from sending multiple [iCAL] objects
       in a single BEEP "MSG" so long as all of the [iCAL] objects have
       the same "TARGET" property value.

An iCAL object is a BEGIN/END VCALENDAR blob.
And a single (non multipart) iCAL MIME object may contain one or
more BEGIN/END VCALENDAR objects (per RFC 2445).

This WG wanted:

    Those to still be valid as long as they all have the same TARGET.

    When they have different TARGET values, then they have to be in separate
    MIME objects.

    When the recipient does not allow multipart, then they have to be in 
separate
    BEEP ANSs.

Does that fix the issue?
