No. Exception=
filters (EXRULE& EXDATE) were intended to filter out instances from be=
ing creatednot remove remove them "after the fact". So, if =
you makechanges to an instance of the repeating set, you would NOT remove i=
t fromthe 'base' defintion in the iCalendar stream. You would leave i=
tthere and simply 'update' it with a subsequent VEVENT in the same iCalenda=
rstream. The slightly mangled example of this can be found in iTIP,Se=
ction 4.4.7, pp 86 & 87 where it describes the response to Bs REFRESHre=
quest.

Im a little conf=
used by what you aretrying to do here. Could you describe the scenari=
o and possibly providesome iCalendar fragments so its easier to answer your=
question?
