To address this - section 2 mandates support for iCal V2, so the XML 
element above was wrong, it should have been:

          <C:supported-calendar-data
             xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav">
            <C:calendar-data content-type="text/calendar" version="1.0"/>
            <C:calendar-data content-type="text/calendar" version="2.0"/>
          </C:supported-calendar-data>

i.e. CalDAV servers are always required to support GET and PUT with iCal v2 
data, and MAY support GET/PUT with other calendar data types. However we do 
not say anything about how a client might GET data in one preferred 
(supported) format over another.
