Actually, not necessary. The iCalendar spec [1] contains a property
CALSCALE that can be used to specify the "scale" of the calendar.
I'm not sure if any CALSCALE property values other than "GREGORIAN"
are defined, but that's the way to use alternate calendars.
For practical purposes it is necessary to include a machine-readable
Gregorian date. Although the CALSCALE property does exist, the only
valid value defined for it is "GREGORIAN".
Right now CALSCALE is not in the hCalendar property list [2] but it
could be...
Cognition <http://buzzword.org.uk/cognition/> will actually parse
class="calscale" found within an element with class="vcalendar" (but,
not within class="vevent"), and will include it in RDF and iCalendar
output.
