Interesting.  Thanks, Mark.  I don't usually use notes, but I suppose 
I could put phone numbers in that field instead of location (where 
they are more natural to me).  I hope Apple eventually fixes this, 
publishing location as well as notes, which seems to make a lot more 
sense to me.

Is there any development on iCal going on?  Seems like it has been a 
while since any updates or new versions have been released.  If Apple 
is kind of abandoning it, I might do better finding another 
alternative.
