After some further discussion among the Horde Developers we feel the  
best approach would be to use the "slug" model as implemented by  
Whups and Ansel.  This mechanism allows users to choose a free-form  
name (including special characters) as they see fit and still  
optionally add a "simple" name which will be the share (calendar) ID  
used for URLs.  None of the Horde developers are currently working on  
this though so if it's something you would like to submit a patch for  
we would appreciate seeing it.  At this late stage in the release  
process I can't guarantee it will make it into the version of  
Kronolith that is released with Horde 3.2 but it's not impossible  
that it will make it into a subsequent dot-release.

When you have the patch ready please open an "Enhancement" ticket in  
the Kronolith queue for us at http://bugs.horde.org

Thanks!
