I'll now revise my answer to this.

iCalendar (which is essentially vCal v2.0) is able to cope with all the
complexities of scheduling and all the other Outlook goodies. I just wrote a
few methods to deal with it. Export an Outlook appointment by forwarding it
as iCalendar (from the ations menu of the open appointment) to see the
format.

Since I can hear Jochem saying (in Dutch, no doubt), "Read the goddam RFC,"
here it is:

and more info here:

------------
vCal is the standard format and cflib.org has a function for dealing with 
it, but in Outlook all the appointment stuff will be obscured inside MS' 
proprietary TNEF standard - I'd be surprised if this were easily 
reproducible. 

Check out the vCal standard.  Also, if you create a meeting request in 
Outlook and send it to a non-Microsoft mail client, you might be able to 
view the headers and find the information that requests accepts/declines, 
etc.
