If I follow the vCalendar 1.0 spec (I have that printed out), will that be close
enough (forward compatible?)?  That 2.0 RFC is huge!! :)

Excellent!  I appreciate this kind of feedback.  Being a programmer, learning a
new env rules! :)

Where would I put this import API?  The reason I ask is that the Horde framework
has it's JavaDOC-ish docs, but I don't see one for Kronolith (I'm a Java
programmer, you get so spoiled by documentation generated by code).  If you
point me to the module/file that has the other import API stuff, I can probably
find it from there.

It looks like you already have written the Horde.data.Data class with the type
IMPORT_ICALENDAR?  Is this work fairly close to done?  If so, is there an
example of import that I can follow?
