Interesting - synce plugin is not using the iCalendar nor vCalendar - it's 
using directly the OpenSync XML internal format. Maybe in the conversion code 
from SynCE-what-ever-format to OpenSync XML internal format there is a 
conversion issue.

But pretty cool implementation - python using XSL conversion stylesheets.

Have to dive into this a  bit deeper...
