OC works also as a file proxy, i.e. there is a possibility to mount 
GoogleDrive, Dropbox external storage services. So why not do the same 
thing with external calendars? I am not the person to tell what is "the 
purpose" of OC, or what defeats its purpose, but I don't see any harm in 
implementing the idea. The more flexible OC is, the more people will use it.
