No, wait a minute--are you talking about RFC-2739, "Calendar Attributes 
for vCard and LDAP"? That doesn't solve anything unless you have 
someone's vCard (rare) or access to their LDAP server (even rarer, 
unless you're in the same organization).

You can still initiate a conversation with someone with just their email 
address; but, if nobody knows anybody else's cap: address, when is 
iTIP-over-CAP going to get used?

But, for a more fundamental question: Why do we expect it to be 
compelling enough to be worth implementing support for iTIP-over-CAP as 
well as iMIP? If users don't get much extra functionality, and if they 
don't want the hassle of keeping track of people's cap: addresses, why 
should we ask implementers to bother?
