Section B.1.1 says: 

   BEGIN:VCALENDAR
   CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
   PRODID:-//Example Inc.//Example Calendar//EN
   VERSION:2.0
   BEGIN:VEVENT
   DTSTAMP:20080205T191224Z
   DTSTART:20081006
   SUMMARY:Planning meeting
   UID:4088E990AD89CB3DBB484909
   END:VEVENT
   END:VCALENDAR

It should say:

   BEGIN:VCALENDAR
   CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
   PRODID:-//Example Inc.//Example Calendar//EN
   VERSION:2.0
   BEGIN:VEVENT
   DTSTAMP:20080205T191224Z
   DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20081006
   SUMMARY:Planning meeting
   UID:4088E990AD89CB3DBB484909
   END:VEVENT
   END:VCALENDAR

Notes:

The default value type of DTSTART is DATE-TIME. The definition of DATE-TIME makes the time portion mandatory. By declaring the value type explicitly, this solution makes the value legal and matches the xCal sample in B.1.2

Another solution is to change the property value to match the default DATE-TIME type
DTSTART:20081006T191224Z
and adjust the xCal example in B.1.2 to match
<dtstart>
<date-time>2008-10-06T19:12:24Z</date-time>
</dtstart>
