What move?

What transition?

Clearly you have not read the draft. It says:


  	This memo only provides an alternative, XML
    	representation for the standard syntax defined in [iCAL].

No 'Next generation' at all.

If you go to the CALSCH mailing list archives you can see that other
non-1:1 mappings of iCal were NOT desired and discouraged by the IESG.

Fell free to submit such a draft. The xCal draft allow iCal
data "as defined in iCal to be mixed with XML data.

The rest of your email seems to repeat your above point.
