Ditto here at calendar.com, though I would say we are more of a
calendar-enabled application.  We will almost certainly just be generators
of vCalendar-type things.  In fact, you can yank vCards and vCalendars from
Musi-Cal and the Internet Conference Calendar now if you've got handlers for
text/x-vCard or text/x-vCalendar MIME types.  We demonstrated this at
Networld+Interop in Atlanta.
