As the author of at least some of those posts:

I added xCal to Mozilla Calendar and did some work with using xCal in 
OpenOffice.org. The import/export code in Mozilla uses xCal as a step, 
it holds the data in xCal and exports to whatever format you choose with 
XSLT transformation. OOo did not go anywhere with xCal.

I think it's safe to say xCal was used, sorta :-)

I was following the RDFCalendar work also. That seems to be going 
somewhere. I have not stayed current there also.

I'm in the fourth case. Not doing anything with calendar data currently.

If I do take that work back up, I will use my code that converts 
iCalendar to a version of xCal to get the data to XML.
