I'm not entirely sure why this wouldn't be a good idea. It would make
the move from outlook to open solutions a hell of a lot easier. But I
thought (I may be very wrong) that outlook used the iCal stuff that has
been RFC'd 'n everything?

There is a project to implement the RFC'd stuff in perl which Simon
Cozens has been going on^W^Wtalking about at reefknot.sourceforge.net

Their project page has links to the RFCs IIRC.
