well, those properties, AFAIK, do not belong to the iCalendar RFC, so
unless we do a special case for broken Apple's iCal files, we won't
support it.

So, the correct fix for this would be to fix Apple's iCal so that it
generates correct VEVENT's. That is, the categories have to be specified
per VEVENT, not at the top of the calendar file with a non-standard
property.
