SabreDAV does not allow storing of arbitrary properties. It is possible 
for implementors such as owncloud to enable this on a per-node basis though.
I'm interested in seeing if I can build an 'arbitrary dead property 
storage plugin' because it would solve a few more problems as well.

But be aware that there are many DAV servers that just support a fixed 
set of properties, so it would be good for caldavzap to handle cases 
where this does not work.
