Let me know which clients this file works on and which ones it doesn’t. I’m 
particularly interested in the description field. Most clients ignore the html 
formatting and I’m not worried about that * I am interested in missing text. 
The commas and semicolons are escaped * hopefully the clients properly process 
that and show non-escaped commas and semicolons. (See the Feb 2 event, for an 
example.)

Just post test files to the list...  I am sure we would all be willing
to try them with our favorite calendaring application and maybe even
read the RFC to help figure out what is wrong.

Hopeful as well...  Then I can get rid of another screen scraper and the
support that goes along with it.  I assume the concern is the "evil
mormon, multiple-level marketeer" that uses this data to push his latest
skin products and vitamins.  Of course, the data would be limited to
members of his own ward (who know where to find him) and members have
the option keeping their data private.
