Just thinking a little more about this ... it seems that not only is
this confusing it is also makes it very easy for the user to mess up
their appointments. If the number of occurrences and exceptions is
large, it becomes easy for the user to make a mistake in their
arithmetic and end up with incorrect entries in their calendar. If, like
me, they are hopeless at remembering anything unless its written down
this could lead to missed appointments.

Best, Darren
