Re: XMLCAL

Conclusion: very appropriate to map to RDF: a shoe-in. This would release a

unnecessary extension stuff from the spec.

Greg:
I don't think shoe-in is exactly the right word for it.  I have been hanging 
around on RDF lists for over a year now and I think it would be pretty 
adventurous  to take iCal, which is already used in quite a few applicatins 
into that fray.  Maybe from your vantage point you see a consensus which I 
don't grasp.  I am going ask a new member of the SKiCAl WG, Jonas  
Liljegren,  to write about this.

Anyway I admire your gall.  Here I am trepiditiously trying to sway the 
cautious and concerned IETF into making a considerably radical departure 
from  current procedure  and you are kind of saying; "hey lets go jump off 
Niagara Falls in a barrel, while were at it!"  :-)

Tim:
The faint of heart could do it in XML and just check at intervals that they 
were really doing it in RDF :) So long as they didn't use XML attributes.

Greg:
Well, call me "faint", but we do SKiCal in XML and use XML attributes and 
would not dare at this stage to switch over to RDF.  Not now in any case.
