Re-reading RFC 2445 again, I'm pretty sure that Akonadi is wrong. They  
use the PERCENT-COMPLETE property to indicate the task status instead  
of the STATUS property like Nag does. RFC 2445 says:

Property Name: PERCENT-COMPLETE
Purpose: This property is used by an assignee or delegatee of a to-do  
to convey the percent completion of a to-do to the Organizer.

Property Name: STATUS
Purpose: This property defines the overall status or confirmation for  
the calendar component.
Description: In a group scheduled calendar component, the property is  
used by the "Organizer" to provide a confirmation of the event to the  
"Attendees".

So the difference is that PERCENT-COMPLETE is used by attendees to be  
consumed by organizers, while STATUS is used by organizers to be  
consumed by attendees. Editing and saving a task on the (Nag) server  
is done by the task organizer (or anyone with the same permissions)  
and authoritative for anyone consuming this task. This is *not* an  
update from an attendee sent to the organizer. The RFC even explicitly  
mentions that PERCENT-COMPLETE is per attendee, so that attendees can  
report back different completion states for their parts of the task.  
It is *not* to be stored with the task. How should that work anyway if  
this a property of the VTODO component but can be different for each  
attendee?
