[NTLK] Well, here's one iCal bit that we can do easily...

Apple's got a standardized format called "ics" for calendars. They
also have an automagical update mechanism for calendars via some
protocol called "webcal". But replacing "webcal://..." with
"http://..." results in a valid URL. :-) So I think we can trivially
make a NewtsCape API app which will download Apple .ics calendar files
and dump them into Dates.

An example calendar file. As you can see, a piece of cake to parse.
