I was planning on trying to find some time to look at the code and read 
some RFCs before I brought this up, but has anybody thought about hooking 
a native CalDAV interface into Cyrus?

Admittedly, I haven't put any real thought into it so far, other than that 
it would be incredibly useful.  I'm thinking a native CalDAV interface for 
remote clients ("calendard"), message processing via LMTP to inject ics 
attachments through a calendar extension to SIEVE, calendar data exported 
via CalDAV or via imap through an alternate mailbox (calendar/username 
being the default calendar / INBOX equivalent, 
calendar/username/calendarname for alternate calendars).
