Yes, I saw that. For proprietary stuff (a lot of well-known iPhone apps seem to 
appear in here) it's easy.

Good idea :-)

That would be great!

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.
