Research direction

Start with the iTIP COUNTER and DECLINECOUNTER sections of RFC 5546 and compare them with the current CalDAV implementation. Investigate whether handling belongs upstream in Sabre, as suggested by the issue. Done means both methods are supported for attendee counter-proposals and declined counter-proposals.
