Thanks Lane, this approach sounds reasonable, I'm looking forward to this update.
On a related note, how will non-google attendee statuses be handled? One feature that I and several other developers are looking for is the ability to change these responses programatically. In my instance, I'm syncing google calendar from our internal calendaring system and would like to sync response status. Also, I'm using google calendar for my domain, and would really like the ability to change response status for google users if I'm authenticated using an administrator account. Most calendaring systems have an administrator option for this!
