What we're specifically looking for, paraphrasing a 30.000 ft
high-level birds view, is xCal and xCard stored in IMAP
folders that are also made available through CalDAV / CardDAV,
Ok.
where such folders are annotated through SPECIAL-USE,
Sounds good.
so that any IMAP client is automatically compatible.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "compatible".
If a client understood Content-Type: application/calendar+xml and
did something useful with it, like display the calendar, or start
up a separate calendar tool, then it's compatible. If a client
didn't understand that, a user opening that folder would see a
bunch of XML gibberish, which is very nearly the moral equivalent
of not showing anything at all, except more confusing.
SPECIAL-USE already requires "ENABLE SPECIAL-USE" by the client,
No it doesn't. RFC6154 says no such thing.
Of course, you are right... I must have been seriously confused with
something else. Well, some of the reasoning behind what I said would
supposedly be possible to do were based on this assumption, actually.
I suppose we'll need to take this into account on whatever update to
the RFC we come up with.

I've pointed Georg to your comments, they are much appreciated.
