Yeah, I only see 3 ways to specify this rule as you said before.
1. like above.
2. 7 different rrules each with one bymonthday entry each
3. explicate rdates.

If LookOut doesn't support 1, then it probably won't support 2 either is
my guess.

I'm pretty interested to know how they are doing this if they refuse
the first format. I don't have a copy of LookOut that I can play with
to find out.
