FWIW, take a look at Google's GData APIs; they're based on Atom and I
think provide what you're after:

Overview: http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/overview.html
Actual example: http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/basics.html

Not necessarily to use them but they might give you some ideas of how
to encode your actions. That said, if you do want to use them I think
Simon Wistow has done some GData stuff with Net::Google::Calendar(?).
If you get anything working in Perl I'm definitely interested as I was
toying with storing some stuff in a spreadsheet :-)
