Re: [Fwd: [RSS2-Support] Announcement: RSSCalendar.com BETA]

This came out fine using http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/ical2rdf.pl to give
the attached RDF version.

Took me about 5 minutes. 4 Minutes to figure out how to install PERL bits
that the code wants and I don't have (Jcode) or comment out the line that
asks for them (SHA1), and 1 minute to run it, check it, and get it to put the
results in a file :-)

It puts in a comment about unexpected attrs - those are the
"ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE" bits that it finds, I think. Anyway, they don't
seem to cause any grief.

For those who can't handle RDF easily in their mail/browser, here it is in
the text:
