Correct.

I have done that. While the page discusses basic use cases, it does not 
really answer my question.

Is this a technical constraint, or a philosophical one?

I have done that, too.

My point is that a calendar for birthdays and absence of group members 
is tied more closely to the group than being a "resource".

On a related issue: The DAViCal wiki discourages granting permissions 
to individual persons in addition to a group they belong to. Case in 
point: A group secretary has the group read access, plus an individual 
(exclusive) write access for a calendar. Why is this wrong, and how 
else would I implement the idea?

Cheerio,
