Subject: second try: RSVP usage in ITIP messages

Hey All,

Here's a second attempt to summarize RSVP in iTIP messages.

   * RSVP=TRUE is interpreted as: the Attendee is permitted to send the
     Organizer a REPLY message to change their PARTSTAT. The REPLY
     message can also be used to modify parameters such as
     DELEGATED-FROM and DELEGATED-TO.
   * RSVP=FALSE is interpreted as: the Attendee is not permitted to sent
     the Organizer a reply.

In the case where the Organizer fixes a spelling error in the summary
and resends the event to the attendees, the fact that RSVP=TRUE does not
require an Attendee to send a REPLY. The REPLY is only necessary if the
Attendee needs to change a parameter value (such as PARTSTAT).
