I thought these were the error message you got when you validated the file 
from CalendarShare and not the one from KOrganizer?

Most probably, no. But on the other hand, that iCalendar validator you pointed 
to is not perfect, either. It validates absolutely broken files, but it also 
fails on completely valid iCalendar files that are okay according to the 
standard. For example, here it claims to fail on a large file, but does not 
give any error message or any position where it fails...
Actually, I found out that it fails with any ATTACH: property, no matter if 
the value of that property is a valid URI or not. That's a clear bug in that 
validator...

It also seems to have problems with folded lines (long lines are folded by 
inserting "\n\r ", i.e. a line break and a space).

However, to really be able to pin the problems down, we need actual iCalendar 
files generated by KOrganizer that fail the validator (and even the original 
iCalendar files from CalendarShare before you imported them into korganizer).

Cheers,
