I agree.  And as more and more people are going
to be doing this to leverage the tons of XML
code/apps/technologies out there standardising
this iCalendar grammer will become increasingly
important.

Does this relate to...
http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft-hare-xcalendar/

Is anything happening with xCal?
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-royer-calsch-xcal-03

http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/NOTE-rdfcal-20050929/ ?

Would be nice if one of those grammers gained some
some momentum... :)
