So, correct me if I'm wrong. We could get rid of the 'Download .ics' option completely and just have a n 'Subscribe with calendar application' option. If Subscribe fails because the user's calendar app doesn't support webcal, they can at least download the calendar to their desktop?
i get the feeling that you're expecting "if subscribe fails, then xxx" to all happen in one step, but it can't. so let's say the user chooses to "subscribe with calendar app". this causes the browser to pop up a dialog with two options: 1) choose an application to handle files of type text/calendar or 2) save the file to disk. if the user chooses an application, the browser opens the application, hands it the file, and ducks out of the way. it has no way of knowing if the application can do anything with the file, and the application can't tell the browser anything. so there's no way for the browser to give the user a fallback option. i think this means that we probably still need an explicit ics download option.
I think even if the browser is handling the workflow for subscribe...we want to provide CC's with access to the URLs. That means we would want to give them access to the same Collection Details dialog that users can see when they're logged in.
