Oops! I may have made a mistake here:

(sorry, it should have been foaf:topic, not rel="foaf:topic", damn
copy/paste...)

That may be incorrect. The proper generated RDF is rather:

<#me> a cal:Event;
   foaf:topic [
      cal:dtstart "2007-07-07".
   ].

isn't it?

/me is messed up. So what is, formally, the subject of
the_attribute_that_shall_not_be_named?
