RFC Reference: [RFC2445] section 4.2.20

Number of Instances Allowed: 0, 1

Format: Text ([RFC2445] section 4.3.11)

Brief Description: Specifies the format of this property.

Importing to Calendar objects

This parameter SHOULD<152> be ignored since a parser can determine whether a property is in the Date format ([RFC2445] section 4.3.4) or Date-Time format ([RFC2445] section 4.3.5) without an explicit declaration in the VALUE parameter.

Exporting from Calendar objects

If the DTSTART property is specified in the Date format ([RFC2445] section 4.3.4), the VALUE parameter MUST be exported as 'DATE'. If the DTSTART property is specified in the Date-Time format ([RFC2445] section 4.3.4), the VALUE parameter SHOULD be omitted, but MAY be exported as 'DATE-TIME'.
