I think having the ics or icalendar or iCal notation in the above  
menu items might help users understand what format the export and  
import deals with. Especially for people looking for ics  
compatibility.  To tell you about my experience when I first  
experimented with Google calendar, one of the first things I wanted  
to try was import my ics calendar into Google. Even though the link  
says "Import Calendar" as soon as you are on that screen, it says  
"Choose the file that contains your events. Google Calendar can  
import event information in iCal or CSV (MS Outlook) format."
I knew I was in the right place.  Just saying "Import/Export Tasks  
and Events.." might confuse the users since the subsequent dialog  
doesn't explain what format it takes.

Just my $0.02
