I've read about this before and it's a nice idea, however if I were  
writing something for OS X I'd still want to use the application hooks  
for iCal, just to be sure I was getting up to date data. AFAIK Apple  
makes no guarantees about how often the calendar is flushed to disk.

What would be neat is a bridge that reads the iCalendar using  
appscript or something like it, and spits out VObjects (or the same  
deal for Address Book cards), and could flush back from VObject to  
Apple Address Book. I might consider writing the address book portion  
when I get around to coding up an iSync conduit for my obsolete cell  
phone.
