I'm interested. I'm generating XML from libical. I then use XSLT to translate to the proposed xcal and back to iCal. I will get around to generating rdf soon (yeah - soon...) I'm also working with someone else that plans on using Mozilla as a client. We plan on coming up with a mozilla datasource for calendar and scheduling info in rdf.
