Comment:

 Adding a calendar event instead of a post is as simple as
 {{{
 $calendar_object = (object)array('post_title' => 'The Title', 'post_date'
 => '2009 08 4 5pm', 'post_type' => 'calendar');
 wp_insert_post($calendar_object);
 }}}

 In other words, it only requires setting an extra post_type field.. IMO,
 They're plugins, They can deal with having an extra flag if thats the
 route they'd like to take (a new post type)

 Unless WordPress is going to include a full event calender inside
 WordPress, theres no point adding the API. So i assume thats what you're
 asking? To merge one of the plugins into core with the ability for other
 plugins to override?
