A CalDAV client should be able to subscribe to (and modify) a  
morsecode-published collection.

At some point soon we will remove the support for dual-fork ICS/XML  
sharing from Chandler (after TBD numbers of users has migrated to  
morsecode), but Chandler will always continue to be a CalDAV client  
as well as a morsecode client.

Once we have removed support for dual-fork ICS/XML shares from  
Chandler, from that point on handing Chandler a CalDAV URL (i.e., a  
DAV collection of type "calendar") will cause Chandler to subscribe  
as a CalDAV client, as I don't think there is a way for the client to  
know that a given CalDAV collection *also* has a morsecode interface  
to it, and what the URL would be without some intelligent "guessing"  
on the client's part.  If we need different behavior, this needs to  
be spec'd out.
