I believe that providing a single view of multiple calendars is a 
client-side feature (preference) that is easily implemented with CalDAV by 
running reports on each calendar and aggregating the results into one view.

A CalDAV server could choose to support the proposed WebDAV BIND method as 
discussed in 
<http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-webdav-bind-12.txt> to 
support 'adding' single events to other calendars. I don't think we should 
require support of that for CalDAV - it ought to be an option that each 
implementation can support if it desires.
