I am not an expert on XML. I have not read the specs.

As I see it, CALSCH is just being finalized - as a container
for calendaring and scheduling information.

I for one do not have a problem with XML. I do however think
that it may be premature to devise another format at this time.

If XML were to happen, I would think that it would have to be 
after iCAP and iRIP. (I could be convinced otherwise).
