Many thanks to Nigel Garvey for his gargantuan effort in creating a most interesting approach to the problem of visiting every iCal event, including recurring events. I can appreciate the work it would take to test all that code fully and the annoyance of finding that Apple breaks the code with each iCal version upgrade. That Nigel's code works at all is testimony to his tenacity and genius.
If anyone should hear about an alternative method in AppleScript for visiting iCal events that includes visiting recurring events, I would appreciate knowing about it.
There is an interf ace for fetching events on the Apple Developer Website using a framework called Calendar Store that appears to do what I have described. Any suggestions on how I might could (learn to) access this interface via AppleScript would be appreciated.

I'd like for my script to visit every event in a calendar for a time
period. The following script misses recurring events whose first
occurrence's start time is before the time period:
I looked at RFC 2445 Section 4.8.5 to see what the recurrence strings
look like. Hoo Boy! Writing that code (and testing it!) would indeed
be extremely complex and tedious.
Has anyone scripted this? (Kudos if so!)
Or, perhaps, is there some model code somewhere that we could adapt?
My own effort returns the details of the next recurrence (or occurrence)
of a given event (identified by UID) after a given date/time. You're
welcome to fool around with it.

There's some sample calling code in a comment at the end of the script.
