If you can find an industry standard xml markup for representing
calander appointments (which is how I like to think of scheduled
transactions ... something like a recurring meeting notice), 
would be great.  If you could convince the evolution folks to use 
that industry-standard calander markup as thier communications 
protocol, then we're almost home free.  But I suspect there is
none-such.

 I don't recall it being XML based, but I do remember, from a Sun on Sun
deployment of ICS ( whatever it's called this week ) that it implemented
spoke at least two "calendar" file formats of some kind.  I *think* the
file exports had an XML option, but that may have just been our wish list.  

I just checked the docs, it certainly does, via csbackup.  I'm unsure if
the DTD is available though.  Shouldn't be hard to get.
