[Ietf-caldav] Some issues with caldav - subscriptions

[Mike Douglass]

Thought I'd raise this:

Our calendar allows a user to subscribe to some other calendar 
(currently only a public calendar).

The result is that those events appear within their view of events, 
almost as if they were actually part of the calendar.

There's another feature which is that of 'adding' single events from 
other calendars into their own calendar. This is actually implemented as 
a sort of reference to the real event.

There are at least two issues raised by this - one of which probably 
isn't for this group.

Firstly - is this kind of function available in other calendar systems 
and if so should it be part of the protocol,

e.g. subscribe to calendar <uri> and display the results within [new] 
calendar collection <uri>

Secondly I believe I discovered that icalendar, lacking an owner, makes 
it difficult to distinguish events owned by the current user and those 
appearing as a result of subscriptions etc.
