The most tricky part is probably representing the datastore path such that a client can figure out which ones to use for which of the datatypes. Mime-type to path name mapping alone doesn't do the trick for all the events/tasks/combined/weird-ovi cases. We'd probably need an extra "variations" list, saying something like "VTODO" or "VEVENT" or "VTODO,VEVENT" to differentiate them. Anyway, I'm open to discussions and helping to create a proposal.
