Repeating Events and Events that run multiple days

I can think of several business models that offer one time repeating events as well as events that run for multiple days (non consecutive days, or weekly). One example would be a training facility that offers courses that run 1 day/week over multiple weeks. With the current setup it is unclear to most clients which events in the calendar are a single day, repeating or multi-day spanning several weeks.

It would be very helpful if there was a better way of displaying children of the original event if selected. For example:
  1. A class that starts on a Monday at 6PM and is one hour, but runs for 6 weeks, it should be possible to show all 6 days without having the option to register for each day, only the first one. Ideally these would be visible in the calendar with a modification to the layout using CSS so students/clients can identify the Parent vs children. These would not be displayed in list views, however the 'parent' should list all the dates for the children.
  2. Repeating Events would be treated and individual events.
  3. When editing a Parent event all children should be deleted and recreated, when editing a repeating event this would be an option, however it should also be possible to edit as individual events.

If this has value for your business please vote this up.

Cheers.
