Oh, wait a minute: Jeroen suggested to use /private/comment. Is there a
/shared/comment, too? According to RFC 5464 there is.

If this annotation contains the display name for a folder, it should be
readable for other users you share a folder with. I suggest to write the
display name to /shared/comment for folders in personal namespace and to
/private/comment for others.

This becomes essential if you create folders via CalDAV clients that will
use random UIDs for new folder names. Sharing a folder named
'1A66C52089EF530F5C20174853981687-8C02E7EEB49870A2' doesn't make sense to
anybody if one does not see it with the annotated display name.

That will be your job then?
