The first bit of good news is I documented all the fields at the top of
bpcalendar.py.  The whole format needs several bits of fixing and
tweaking as noted in the comments.  The code path will need to be
changed so that it is similar to the codepath for the phonebook.
That will allow the code in the profile that does the conversion
for the phone to generate warnings and errors etc.

My goal is to get the phonebook working well in 0.7 (that includes
import and export - but not sync which is a harder problem).  I'll
also need to rework the wallpaper and ringtone widgets since they are
somewhat useless at the moment.  The calendar will be fixed properly
for 0.8.

The helper class for 0.8 will let you ask for the n most relevant
entries pretty much using an algorithm substantially similar to what
you just descibed.

Have you tried playing with test data so far?
