I like this idea. That would make it a lot easier to ensure that different=

I'm not sure about the reason to do this. The clients can without problem=20
download this info (http://kolabserver/freebusy/username.vfb). The=20
problem is that there currently is no way to see other peoples free/busy=20
info without making an invitation. The transport isn't the issue here.
