We have very fresh iCalendar support in Kronolith. And there is some code to
get events from remote Kronolith servers by xmlrpc. It would only take a few
lines to make it actually work.
Getting and parsing remote files like the addict one's shouldn't be too hard
either. 

What we need and what currently is discussed here is the need to have
subscribeable calendars.
