If you need some real life calendar data in RSS+events format you may use
this script which I just published:
http://www.stockholmtown.com/events/skical/skicalrss.asp?date1=2002-09-02&date2=2002-09-11
The feed is from the official tourist office of Stockholm, and cover
cultural and business events in the swedish capital. It is probably the
largest events database in Sweden, constantly containing several thousand
upcoming events.
The export takes three cgi parameters:
Name sample value meaning
-------------------------------------------------------------------
since 2002-08-30 get events registered or updated in the
database since august 30 2002.
date1 2002-09-02 get events beginning on the second of
september 2002 or later
date2 2002-09-11 get events beginning on the eleventh of
september 2002 or later
For a useful view of the feed, use Libby Miller's RSS-cal-viewer at
http://swordfish.rdfweb.org/discovery/2002/05/rsscal/
As a sample, here is a direct link to the events happening between
september 2 and 11:

In addition to the RSS events module, the feed contains tags from the
SKiCal namespace (see http://www.skical.org/).
