Very cool.  I've been playing with this recently as well.

I prefer this method as it seems more inline with what people would expect.
It would also probably make filtering out calendars much faster than if we
had to go by each individual event.

One question: Assuming you wanted a "public calendar" that had read access
to everything (for non-logged in users) how would that be dealt with?  Could
an event have a "guest_allowed" type flag? This would kind of merge the
shared calendar method into your events-based method below.  Thoughts?
