Questions:  

1. Why LINK REL=CAL_(ACTIVE/INACTIVE)_PARTICIPANT  rather than proposing ACTIVE / INACTIVE as possible values for the PARTSTAT parameter on an ATTENDEE property of a component?
2.  Several, if not all, properties allow URIs as values or URIs can be specified in the ALTREP= parameter (for example, LOCATION).  What advantage would the LINK property have over these schemes?


I'm not criticizing the proposal per se, but I'd like to understand what it's advantages are and what problems it solves that don't have a solution in RFC 5545.
