Don't know.  But it is a good question.

Your not the first person to have this idea.  And it has been on my
back-burner list for some time.  Only until pretty recently there hasn't
been much support for iCal in Open Source packages.  This is definitely
a feature under consideration by me.

Excellent.  The current calendar is drawn from a simple PostgreSQL
database.  I'm not certain what SQL->DAV{iCal,wCAP,etc...} proxies are
available.

It is not a dumb idea.
