--- Comment #6 from Aaron Sakovich <asakovich at hmcpl.org> ---
RFC 5545 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5545 on page 54 (section
3.6.1 Event Component) says the following:

>      ... For cases where a "VEVENT" calendar component
>      specifies a "DTSTART" property with a DATE value type but no
>      "DTEND" nor "DURATION" property, the event's duration is taken to
>      be one day.  For cases where a "VEVENT" calendar component
>      specifies a "DTSTART" property with a DATE-TIME value type but no
>      "DTEND" property, the event ends on the same calendar date and
>      time of day specified by the "DTSTART" property.

What if the DTSTART is a DATE or DATE-TIME, and DTEND and DURATION are left
blank? We could set it to be a DATE if the due time is 23:59, and a DATE-TIME
otherwise.

That would result in either an all day event as desired per option A) (when due
at midnight) or an event with a specific due time and the end time set to the
end of the day, the inverse of Option B) (which might be a more palatable
solution as event reminders are typical set based on the start time of an
event). 

Alternatively, a DURATION could be specified in the latter case, but note that
DURATION (section 3.8.2.5) is a _positive_ value, and no mention is made in the
spec of a zero duration, so I'd be hesitant to reference a zero-value duration.
