This is an excellent question, and one that has been raised before (by Andy and others, i.e. where is the hCalendar property list), and very much needs to be answered, as a bunch of work depends on it (the aforementioned cheatsheet, a foldable cheatsheet, hCalendar profile, etc. etc.). It's also a non-trivial question to answer (one excuse for why it hasn't been thoroughly answered yet). While the self-help-for-now answer has been to check RFC2445 iCalendar and re-use property names per the principles outlined in hCalendar, there is a benefit from having a precise short list, with any notes on how particular properties may require special treatment. To answer this for hCard took me with the help of several others like Ryan King several hours of work analyzing each and every vCard property and understanding its impact/utility in a "web" (HTML) context. And iCalendar has many more properties and subproperties than vCard. Determining the precise property list for hCalendar requires drawing upon a number of sources of information and experience in addition to RFC2445, e.g. iCal-BASIC draft, ietf-calsify mailing list, both of which I've been monitoring for sometime now. I've also had this on my to-do list for a little while: http://microformats.org/wiki/to-do#hCalendar_2 Question: would the community be ok with a "draft" approximate property list for hCalendar sooner than a comprehensive precise property list later? My standards/implementation instincts had biased me towards the latter, but I realize that in many ways, ironically, that's actually contrary to much of the methodology for how we get things done in microformats in general.
