We might be able to head off some of the bad reaction to this if we  
could create a reasonable implementation of "sub calendars". I'm not  
suggesting any nesting other than a single parent/child relationship.  
But by allowing a user to group a few different calendars (which would  
be available as separate ics/webdav items) under a single Share -  
i.e., all getting the same permissions; allowing users to subscribe to  
calendar "bundles" all in one instead of dealing with however many  
calendars I have; and by letting users choose colors for each  
sub-calendar, we might retain some of the best of both worlds here.

If you look at a program like iCal, you are basically encouraged to  
create multiple calendars to do any colorization or category-like  
differentiation. We could do the same thing, but simplify the calendar  
creation process a bit and the share overhead by nesting the  
sub-calendars.
