I wish Doug were correct.  But CAP-12e has no provision that permits 
the CUA to make a free-busy request using the VFREEBUSY component 
and get a direct response.
 
* It's not in Section 10.12.1.  That section attempts to define how to
get 
    VFREEBUSY components using a VQUERY.
 
* It's not done using iTIP (CMD:CREATE, METHOD:REQUEST).  All [iTIP] 
    messages are deposited in the CS in the UNPROCESSED state.  The CUA

    simply gets a "success" response.  (Section 10.4).
 
Once again, I assert:
CAP does not support this WG's established definition (standard) for 
requesting free-busy information using the VFREEBUSY component ... 
specifically, in a real-time direct request/response CAP exchange.
 
This point was made in a previous discussion thread which, after
some give-and-take, eventually concurred on the issue. Consequently, 
we thought this would be accomodated in CAP-12; but, for reasons 
unknown it didn't show up.  A solution has been proposed several
times.
 
What criteria has this issue not met to be incorporated into CAP? 
What
objections can there be for CAP to conform with and facilitate this
WG's 
own standards?
