Well, I prefer $_GET as well, but we specifically chose $HTTP_GET_VARS 
to provide as much backwards compatibility as we can. As of now, all 
versions of PHP still handle $HTTP_GET_VARS and PHP iCalendar will run 
on 4.0.3 or higher (I believe that's as far back as we go). We don't 
use it all that often and a simple find/replace will update PHP 
iCalendar when a version of PHP is released that no longer supports 
$HTTP_GET_VARS.

If everyone is willing to put a higher PHP version limit on PHP 
iCalendar, I am willing to go with $_GET. It's what I use on my 
personal projects, anyway, so it'll just make things nicer. There are 
some things that would get easier if we went with a higher requirement. 
Maybe we should just say 4.1?
