Do you know offhand where it comes up other than occurences iteration?

On a separate note, occurences should be occurrences (i.e. it's
misspelled). Changing it would be bad for backward compatibility, but maybe
an alias?

I don't know when I'll get to it (I had a miraculously free weekend which
is how I hammered out what I have so far), but I expect it will make more
sense to work that stuff into vpim than outside of it anyway. I'll
definitely contribute my work.

When I start implementing writing it will be first to the filesystem, then
via WebDAV, and then I'll start looking into CalDAV and (maybe) GData. All
my calendars are currently hosted on one WebDAV server or another, so I
don't have much of an itch to scratch for either GData or CalDAV right now.
