[Design] MeetingMaker location parsing

[Andre Mueninghoff]

Hi Jeffrey,

Responding to your observations:

-A week view (or several days view) that displayed today's events and
forward would be great I think. With the current fixed Sun-Sat week
view, on Fridays and Saturdays, I find myself repeatedly flipping in the
calendar forward a week and back to be able to look ahead.

-SyncML (sent to the list by Bear) beckons as perhaps an intermediary
for PDA users

-I'm content with having a meetings location be listed on the next line
under the meeting title, but I am also influenced by the current single
line display of a meeting's title in the summay table, the detail view,
and the calendar lozenges. With other changes, I don't think the "@
location" suffix would be often visible. 

Cheers, Andre
