Hi Stephen,
while it might be possible to do what you ask for, I think it is error-
prone because people might accidently have something in the headline
which looks like a time. I don't mind so much if Org's agenda
stumbles over this, but I don't want to produce incorrect icalendar
files.
Also, this icalendar export function is programmed in a messy way, and
I don't see a quick way to fix this.
If you can make me a patch, I will take it.

Hi,
I often use org-agenda-diary-entry to make simple entries into
an agenda.org file. I see that the agenda is clever enough to
recognise
if a time range has been typed into the heading. However, this time
range is not exported by the icalendar code.
Here's a simple example, independent of org-agenda-diary-entry,
although
in reality, example 2 would be the type of entry I normally make.
if I have a test.org file containing:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* <2010-01-16 Sat 08:00-08:30> example 1
* <2010-01-16 Sat> example 2 09:00-09:30
----------------------------------------------------------------------
then when I view the agenda I see:
Saturday 16 January 2010
test: 8:00- 8:30 example 1
8:00...... ----------------
test: 9:00- 9:30 example 2
10:00...... ----------------
[There's an extra space before 'example 2', which I'm not sure about.]
So far, so good - the agenda has parsed 09:00-09:30 from the headline.
But now if I make an ics file (e.g. by 'C-c C-e i' in test.org) the
start and end time of the event are not recognised. Here's a relevant
snippet from test.ics:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
...
DTSTART:20100116T080000
DTEND:20100116T083000
SUMMARY: example 1
CATEGORIES:test
...
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20100116
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20100117
SUMMARY: example 2 09:00-09:30
What I *think* I'd like is that for the 2nd calendar entry is
DTSTART:20100116T0900
DTEND:20100116T0930
Is that sensible/possible? Alternatively, how about
org-agenda-diary-entry parsing the time specification and writing the
date and time within angle brackets?

Thanks, Stephen
