caldav servers are required to support webdav acl, so a client could
theoretically use that to determine permissions. if one or both of the
participants don't support acl enough for this to happen, then i
presume the client has to resort to a trick like the one you've used.

you might consider putting a dummy event resource into the calendar
rather than creating a subcollection. of course, for this to work, the
calendar collection must support events (which you can verify by
checking the CALDAV:supported-calendar-component-set property).
