I am trying to better understand how recurrences are handled by Google 
Calendar.
For instance, when inserting a recurring event (through GData objective-c 
library) with the following recurrence

DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20110816T105000
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20110816T115000
RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR;BYMONTH=8;BYSETPOS=-1;UNTIL=40010101T000000Z

it appears in Google Calendar both on 08/16/2011 and 08/31/2011 (apart from 
successive repetitions in the next years).

However, the same recurrence does not appear as an event on 08/16/2011 in 
iCal on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, only on 08/31/2011 (again, excluding successive 
repetitions). The same behavior is also provided by the latest available 
libical (http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeassociation/).

So the question is, which one is correct with regard to RFC 2445? Is there 
any way to provide in Google Calendar the same behavior observed in iCal 
(without adding to the recurrence an exception for 08/16/2011) ?  I would 
like to use the same recurrence in all of the cases, if this is possible.

Thank you in advance, and best regards.
