I don't think this is a good idea. Typically, my calendar tends to
have timed events during the weekday, but untimed events during the
weekend. Forcing a hard limit (on either type) would limit the
number of things the calendar can show. There would have to be a
strategy for dealing with a day with too many events, but that would
happen less often if it was the sum of the timed and untimed events
together instead of separately.
As an example, look at iCal. It has untimed events in lozenges above
any timed events in plain text. There's no limit on either until the
day is completely full, at which point it uses a very strange two-
column display as a fallback.
Hope this helps,
