Great issue. I have added it as 'W-29 import/export".

I agree with you, it will be needed. Also for calendar synchronization
with disconnected devices. There will need to be a way for a intermediate
tool to pull calendars from 2 or more sources, compare, and perhaps
with a users input - merge. The tool it self is not in scope, but
I think it will be a need that we must address (in addition to
import/export). And I think that import/export will also address
the issue.

I do however remember discussions (I forget the results) where this
was discussed and some problems with supporting synchronization were
deemed out of scope. Just supporting import/export may solve the
issue and address the both needs.
