I don't think this is a good idea.  Typically, my calendar tends to  
have timed events during the weekday, but untimed events during the  
weekend.  Forcing a hard limit (on either type) would limit the  
number of things the calendar can show.  There would have to be a  
strategy for dealing with a day with too many events, but that would  
happen less often if it was the sum of the timed and untimed events  
together instead of separately.

As an example, look at iCal.  It has untimed events in lozenges above  
any timed events in plain text.  There's no limit on either until the  
day is completely full, at which point it uses a very strange two- 
column display as a fallback.

Hope this helps,
