of PROPFIND results

Small wish: could iCalServer set the 'component' property in resource
content-types? This would make in-place filtering of PROPFIND results
easier:
{{{
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2447.html
}}}
Sample:
{{{
Content-Type:text/calendar; charset=UTF-8; component=vevent
}}}
Rational:
In Outlook we need to map a single calendar collection to two (or three)
Outlook folders, eg "Calendar (Events)" and "Calendar (Tasks)". In Outlook
each folder has a distinct type (its either tasks or events, never both).
So when we do a PROPFIND on a CalDAV calendar which supports both
(calendar-component-set: VEVENT+VTODO), tasks and events (and journals
...), we currently just get the generic text/calendar type. We need to
fetch the content to decide whether the item is relevant or not for a
specific Outlook folder type.
If the server would report the contained component-type, we could avoid
that annoyingly hard work ;-)
Thanks
PS: obviously the client can't (and shouldn't) rely on that parameter, but
its a relevant optimization.
