I still maintain that the colors, and the border enhancement, aren't 
*meant* to do this. I'm considering dropping the border enhancement as 
its utility seems limited. Did showing the owner in tooltips help you 
at all, btw?

I'd really like to hear from someone other than Kevin on this issue. I 
know what I think, and I think I understand what Kevin thinks although 
I still don't agree with it. That's a pretty limited set of 
perspectives, though. Anyone?

Unfortunately this breaks down on a shared calendar that *is* genuinely 
shared, too. The better option would be to allow the proverbial 
secretary to really create the event *as* the person she's doing 
scheduling for, so that the creator id is correct.

No, and if there were any it'd be against our versioning policy, so 
worth knowing about.
