Yes. I've thought this... iCal seems to be overcomplicated for what people want. Instead of what you propose wouldn't it be simpler to store calendar events as simple messages? IMAP search could be used to analyze the headers of messages to produce the listing for the day, for example: SEARCH ALL ON 31-dec-2001 lists today's messages. A simple mime type to represent a calendar event might also be useful but wouldn't be necessary because most calendar meaning could be applied to a normal mime body. I've often thought about building a very simple UI to do calendaring just like that. The real problem with anything like this is that it relies on wide spread acceptance... but it would be okay for using, within a firm for example where everyone could adopt the same thing. Especially given a suitable means of providing shared access to all user calendar folders to all other users (ACLs might be necessary for a large firm).
