This memo describes a method used to ask for and receive
notifications.  These notifications will be the direct result of a
stored components and the notifications or changes to components or
the store and are represented in iCalendar format. This is an
extensions to iCalendar objects.
This memo has been updated to include non-CAP notificaitons.
This memo includes a new CAP command types of 'REQUEST-NOTIFY',
'NOTIFICATION', and 'CANCEL-NOTIFY', a new property of 'OBSERVER', a
new iCalendar component 'NOTIFICATION', CAP capabilities of
'CAN-NOTIFY', 'NOTIFY-UPDATES', and 'ALLOW-NOTIFY-BOT'. A
'REQUEST-NOTIFY' command is a request to add an observer to an
component in the 'TARGET' calendar. In addition the 'REQUEST-NOTIFY'
command can alert the CUA of changes to specific components or in the
calendar or calendar store. Everything is subject to VCAR
restrictions.
These are asynchronous notifications must be advertised by the CS and
requested by the CUA. This memo discusses how to transport these
iCalendar objects and using them with CAP.
In addition if the CS and CUA support the 'NOTIFY-UPDATES'
capability, then the CS will send 'NOTIFICATION' components to the
CUA describing the UIDs or TARGETS that have changed since the
currently authenticated CU was last connected allowing for easier
synchronization.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
