As a naive user, I think it means what it says it does, i.e., #1

If you want to do #2, you shouldn't say "iCal" under the button but something to the effect of "other application" and get a UI to display a list of supported CalDAV enabled apps.

I think Google Calendar deals with this issue by saying "iCal" in the UI, but expanding it to "iCal format (e.g., for Apple iCal)" in the online help. So it might not be such a problem for a reasonably competent user.

OTOH, would platform-neutrality be clearer if the label under the icon said ".ics" instead?
