Let me clarify some of my questions:
- Would there be a seperate part of the protocol designed to support
calendaring, or should the events be presented as email messages?
- Would the calendar be a seperate mailbox of a special type?
- How would multiple calendars be dealt with?
- Would the events be plain email messages or something else?
- How would the events be transmitted to other users?
- Would the TA (transfer agent) or the UA (user agent) be responsible
for coordinating responses to calendar events (acknowledgements and
rejections)?
