Re: [VCARDDAV] CardDAV + xCard in query response

[Mike Douglass <[e-mail]>]

I had taken the approach that what is contained within the calendar-data 
element is the XML representation of an event, i.e

<calendar-data>
<icalendar>
...
</icalendar>
</calendar-data>

This is more in line with other protocols and allows the entire response 
to be parsed as a whole.

It does raise the issue of whether there is a resource body (there isn't 
in my case) and what representation it takes - is it an XML database 
manufacturing icalendar or an icalendar system manufacturing XML - or 
some other approach manufacturing both.

In essence I don't have a resource body to reproduce exactly...
