Indeed. iCalendar is a very nifty format. You should also look up
hCalendar as it may be of interest: it's a mapping of vCalendar
semantics to HTML, and there are various tool to convert between
the two. There's also such a thing as xCalendar, an XML serialisation
of vCalendar, though in practise there is very little software that
supports it.
I did a bunch of research on this sort of thing a few months ago as
I've written support for my CMS to offer feeds in iCalendar as well
as the usual suspects like RSS and Atom.
