Very neat things are possible when you use this sort of technology.  There
is a similar file format used today called V-Calendar and V-Card.  Microsoft
Outlook 98 and several other information managers support them.  You can
click a hyperlink and have schedule or a contact information merged with
your calendar and address book.  Very cool, very fast, and very easy to use.
It is not XML based, though.  I am not sure why.  It is in some strange
format.  However, it is cross-platform.  It is a standard proposed by the
Internet Mail Consortium and IETF, http://www.imc.org/pdi/ .
