I appreciate the comments - but, I intentionally wrote this draft _not_ to 
re-do the xCalendar work precisely, but as a guideline for using XML with 
iCalendar data. This is not one-to-one, round-trippable with iCalendar - 
the relationship is that IF you want your XML to be "compliant" THEN you 
must supply an XSLT to take your calendar data and create iCalendar 
data.  I wanted to allow for anyone to create xCalendar again, but also to 
include the RDFiCal work that's been done by the W3C folks, etc.  The DTDs 
supplied, even though one came from the previous xCalendar draft, are 
examples only.
