I think you're misunderstanding the concept of an event.  Events can't be 'completed' they simply pass.  RFC 2445 says nothing about an event being completed.  Instead, it says events can only be Tentative, Confirmed, or Cancelled.  If you're working with something that can be completed, it's probably a task.

verified wontfix, although I think that Joey meant tasks instead of events when he wrote:

No, I meant event.  From RFC2445:

     statvalue  = "TENTATIVE"           ;Indicates event is
                                        ;tentative.
                / "CONFIRMED"           ;Indicates event is
                                        ;definite.
                / "CANCELLED"           ;Indicates event was
                                        ;cancelled.
        ;Status values for a "VEVENT"
     statvalue  =/ "NEEDS-ACTION"       ;Indicates to-do needs action.
                / "COMPLETED"           ;Indicates to-do completed.
                / "IN-PROCESS"          ;Indicates to-do in process of
                / "CANCELLED"           ;Indicates to-do was cancelled.
        ;Status values for "VTODO".

     statvalue  =/ "DRAFT"              ;Indicates journal is draft.
                / "FINAL"               ;Indicates journal is final.
                / "CANCELLED"           ;Indicates journal is removed.
        ;Status values for "VJOURNAL".

For what it's worth, I kinda of suspect we may want to consider this at some point.  It seems to me that if there is a sufficiently good use case for this sort of thing, there's nothing wrong with proposing extensions to the standard.
