Looks like ESF might get some legs? It doesn't offer much more than an embedded ICS file, but has the advantage of being in XML. Very Cool Beans.
"Event Share Framework.
Everybody is talking about ESF. This is the sort of extension to RSS 2.0 we've been waiting for. And YES it can be gatewayed, bridged, connected to, whatevered - to iCal and the world of rdf. What about Atom?

Event Share Framework: very, very interesting. Here's my do list:
- Build support for ESF in K-collector (excellent for our when classification)
- We need clients to add ESF data to blogs feeds (Radio, Manila, MT, our own... is anyone already working on some client?)
- Convert iCal's ics files to RSS+ESF feed
- Can we exctract RSS+ESF from Outlook?
