<p><br>I'd like to make sure that we define what an "export" is, regardless

just the calendar data, but not the metadata. CUA-2 exports both. &n

I've lost data if I'm using CUA-1
<p>I don't think this is a new function "EXPORT" or anything, though I'm
interested if others think that is the way to go. Personally, I suspect
it will be a paragraph explaining what it means to export/import a calendar,
and a list of queries. The queries will extract a single calendar
with both the calendar data as well as the metadata. If everyone
uses the same queries, then every product would produce identical export/import
files, which is a good thing.

<p>PS: I'd hope that the servers which export data behind the scenes would
also use the same queries.</html>
