There would be a need for a <link> element in RSS 1.0 right ? And it 
wouldn't necessarily have to point to html, right ?

For the definition of a calendar event ( or any other potentially 
rich content ) in the context of RSS 1.0, one seemingly important 
question is the mapping of calendar event elements to RSS 1.0 
constructs. e.g. does hot dog go in <description>, a <content:item>, 
in a document referenced by the <link> element, ( which I believe 
might contain arbitrarily rich content ( i.e not a web page ) ), in 
multiple 'places' etc.
