This is an important development form Ray Ozzie and others at Microsoft. When this specification is implemented in products, which won't be long, calendars and other applications requiring bi-directional synchronization will be a boon to people. Synching up calendars is the obvious first application, but there may be several others. Some that come to mind are draft documents residing at different sites that could be changed by multiple authors. However, Writely (in beta) does basicaly the same thing now, but requires an upload of the document to their site.
All this made so much easier with always-on broadband connections. The 'mesh' web inexorably becomes part of the fabric of life in the Internet age.
