Re: MeetingMaker location parsing

This might be a good step towards generally separating out what we  
display as a description of the item in the summary pane and what's  
technically in the 'Title' field in the detail view.

We should probably replace the Title column in the Table View with  
something more generic like Description?

When Katie did calendar usage interviews ages ago, she found that  
lots of users were stuffing all kinds of metadata manually into the  
Title field of their events:
+ Abbreviations for meeting attendees
+ Phone numbers!
+ Location
