Wow,
	I know nothing of this but the implications are mind boggling ... malicious 
virii that spread spam calendar information, tamper with contact info ... 
consider this form of viral spam:

Virii gets into computer ... replaces valid phone numbers in contact lists with 
phone numbers for spam items (Viagra ... 9enis enlargement).

I would say this is a significant concern for integrating calendaring, contact 
info and email.   _shudder_

Scary.
