Hi,

My work concerns TV & Radio schedules so I was immediately attracted to the 
hCalendar microformat.

My first impression is that the vevent element appears to provide a 
comprehensive representation of individual events but the vcalendar element 
provides a very limited functionality. To quote the hCalendar spec:

"Authors may explicitly use elements with class="vcalendar" to wrap sets of 
vevents that all belong to the same calendar, e.g. when publishing multiple 
calendars on the same page."

This suggests that vcalendar can be used to group events that are related to 
each other e.g. they form a schedule. However, no descriptive metadata 
properties have been defined for vcalendar, which apply to the calendar as a 
whole (e.g. schedule name, description etc) rather than the individual events.

The iCalendar spec (RFC2445) provides a precedent for vcalendar properties but 
the few it defines aren't terribly useful. Were vcalendar properties ever 
considered in the past (I can't find any discussion in the archive) and would a 
proposal be considered?

Chris
