This looks like a "because we can" feature from 25 years ago to me, from a=
=20
time when we were dealing with iCal files that only lived on your local=20
computer and you could actually rely on nothing else messing up your custom=
=20
properties.

IIRC KAddressBook had a similar feature, which was also removed for similar=
=20
reasons.
