I did one too, a while back, though mine was a trivial DTD->Schema conversion. I would love to see the schema you came up with. > submit it again.

I'd be interested in supporting it in my applications if it gains some support. What might be needed right now is a 'grass-roots' effort to get a grammer off the ground and hopefully standardised at some point when there has been enough interest raised. Maybe get a website up, some documentation, and a few projects supporting it as an alternate calendar representation. I can help with some of that if needed. > Adapting existing parsers to produce valid xml > according to this schema > would work too. > I'd love to help with an implementation but it would probably be a Win32 libical modification at this point due to my resource constraints.
