Ah, hah!

So, by ARCHIVE/RESTORE you mean the server operation to put/get of the calendar store to a server-side storage device.

Yes.  This is an implementation detail which doesn't need to be in
CAP.

Yes.  Except to mention that I may want to import calendars from a
command line CUA, as well as a GUI or PDA.

Ideally, when I do "File->Export", the CUA will do a "EXTRACT" (as you
call it), and then save the results on the local machine somewhere. 
So while I see the distinction, I'm not sure it's important.

me.
