You're giving me so many ideas right now for a follow-up post.

>but vCard and iCal as well

The group construct is bad, the syntax is bad, but other than that, I never had to implement or parse it properly. Vdirsyncer is mostly passing strings through.

I suspect that this part is much harder to replace than CardDAV and CalDAV, since it's not just a file structure with a ton of bullcrap on top of it. For that reason I currently have those file formats in the remoteStorage folder structure i'm syncing to, but it's still a step forward. I might switch to jCard and jCal, but I don't think it'd be worth the breakage.
