It depends on how badly the data is screwed up. But generally it should 
be able to work on incorrect implementations.

It doesn't care of the spelling of property and parameter names. Though 
type conversions will need to be done slightly more manual.

If something like 'dtstart' is misspelled it will not return a datetime

 >>> cal.decoded('datestart')

But if you know that it is misspelled you can get it, and convert it 
manually like:

 >>> from PropertyValues import vDDDType
 >>> vDDDType.from_ical(cal['datestart'])
