Yes, that was exactly the proposal that E. (original email) meant. Sorry 
that this didn't come across clearly.

I understand that we have Free/Busy, but not everybody has all their 
schedule in the calendar, so it's easier to make 5-6 concrete proposals 
that are convenient for the event organizer and have the invitee(s) pick 
one of them.

A little offtopic, but illustrates the problem: How would you express 
that in ICS? How would current email clients present that in the UI? I 
don't think current email clients would be able to present that properly 
in the UI.

Given that SML is general purpose, there is a tiny little overlap with 
ICS and VCard, yes. From a client perspective, ICS is a lot of trouble, 
e.g. to get HTML descriptions and update them.
