This is NOT a CAP issue, this is an 2445 issue as 2445/2446 objects have 
the exact same
problem with OPAQUE objects that must be blocked around on pre-CAP 
implementations.

The fact that some (or all?) implementations do not have a  button 
performing this
new user friendly feature does not make CAP broken. It makes it a CUA 
implementation
feature that can be coded into CUAs with or without CAP using existing 
2445 and 2446
objects (METHOD:ADD).

This new feature request (skip over opaque objects and block out a range 
of time) was
never in the CAP requirements document and is a new feature request.

Sounds like a good add-on draft idea.
