CalendarReview

On the CalConnect Roundtable of May 26th the new xCal document was published. The iCalendar data format is a widely deployed interchange format for calendaring and scheduling data.  While many applications and services consume and generate calendar data, iCalendar is a specialized format that requires its own parser/generator.  In contrast, XML-based formats are widely used for interoperability between applications, and the many tools that generate, parse, and manipulate XML make it easier to work with than iCalendar. xCal is an XML-compliant representation of the iCalendar standard. xCal is not an alternative nor next generation of iCalendar. xCal represents iCalendar components, properties and parameters as defined in iCalendar.
