Re: Clarification for Free/Busy

Don't forget the two new CAP TRANSP values:

            / "TRANSPARENT-NOCONFLICT" ; Transparent on busy time
            ; searches and no other OPAQUE or OPAQUE-NOCONFLICT objects
            ; can overlap it.

            / "OPAQUE-NOCONFLICT"  ; Opaque on busy time
            ; searches and no other OPAQUE or OPAQUE-NOCONFLICT objects
            ; can overlap it.
