    Defines a SEQUENCE iCalendar component property.

         4.8.7.4 Sequence Number
    
            Property Name: SEQUENCE
    
            Purpose: This property defines the revision sequence number of the
            calendar component within a sequence of revisions.
    
            Value Type: integer
    
            Property Parameters: Non-standard property parameters can be
            specified on this property.
    
            Conformance: The property can be specified in "VEVENT", "VTODO" or
            "VJOURNAL" calendar component.
    
            Description: When a calendar component is created, its sequence
            number is zero (US-ASCII decimal 48). It is monotonically incremented
            by the "Organizer's" CUA each time the "Organizer" makes a
            significant revision to the calendar component. When the "Organizer"
            makes changes to one of the following properties, the sequence number
            MUST be incremented:
    
              .  "DTSTART"
    
              .  "DTEND"
    
              .  "DUE"
    
              .  "RDATE"
    
              .  "RRULE"
    
              .  "EXDATE"
    
              .  "EXRULE"
    
              .  "STATUS"
    
            In addition, changes made by the "Organizer" to other properties can
            also force the sequence number to be incremented. The "Organizer" CUA
            MUST increment the sequence number when ever it makes changes to
            properties in the calendar component that the "Organizer" deems will
            jeopardize the validity of the participation status of the
            "Attendees". For example, changing the location of a meeting from one
            locale to another distant locale could effectively impact the
            participation status of the "Attendees".
    
            The "Organizer" includes this property in an iCalendar object that it
            sends to an "Attendee" to specify the current version of the calendar
            component.
    
            The "Attendee" includes this property in an iCalendar object that it
            sends to the "Organizer" to specify the version of the calendar
            component that the "Attendee" is referring to.
    
            A change to the sequence number is not the mechanism that an
            "Organizer" uses to request a response from the "Attendees". The
            "RSVP" parameter on the "ATTENDEE" property is used by the
            "Organizer" to indicate that a response from the "Attendees" is
            requested.
    
            Format Definition: This property is defined by the following
            notation:
    
              seq = "SEQUENCE" seqparam ":" integer CRLF
              ; Default is "0"
    
              seqparam   = *(";" xparam)
    
            Example: The following is an example of this property for a calendar
            component that was just created by the "Organizer".
    
              SEQUENCE:0
    
            The following is an example of this property for a calendar component
            that has been revised two different times by the "Organizer".
    
              SEQUENCE:2
