	Hi,
correct, that's what I'm trying to do and I'd like to avoid
constructing a string and then let libical parse it into its
structures.

To be concrete, I receive a recurrence described in XML [1] and I'd
like to make from it the RRULE. I'm able to do it right now, but I
still believe it'll be better to have there both encode and decode
functions, if nothing else then for completeness.

I can construct the patch, I just want to know whether it would be
accepted by the upstream.
	Thanks and bye,
	Milan
