The use case is for a class scheduling system. I would like to display class times to users in a google calendar widget. However I would also like to filter classes by room, teacher, or any other associated resource. I don't want to create a million little calendar feeds for this, it seems like it would be easier to have a custom feed URI that includes the filter parameters in it, so I could project the visibility of the events myself. Also, although Google Calendar could host the actual event data it would probably be easier for me to do it myself since I need to have that information for other purposes anyway. I figured it would be simple to just swap out the source of the feed URI as long as I could serve the feed data in the right format.
