Sorry, I should have known better a looked for that.

Reading the test case, it looks like an event that does not list any
attendee.  So I'd expect 'non-participant.

Looks my third patch is wrong then.

In 

    (let* (...
           (role (or (plist-get (cadr attendee) 'ROLE) "REQ-PARTICIPANT"))

I meant to set REQ-PARTICIPANT only when the attendee list is non-empty
but the 'ROLE property is not found (= I have been listed as an attendee
of the event without being given a role).  But the above code will set
REQ-PARTICIPANT even if attendee is empty (= I'm not listed, as in the
test case).

Let me learn from my mistake and see if I can find how to run these tests
and add a test case for for what I intended to fix.
