I don't think this is particularly true in the case of iCal.  As well as
iCal
there exists the iTip and iMip protocols (transport independent and
mail) and CAP for shared calendar server stuff.  As for "what products
use this", who really cares?  This is the underlying storage and it can
represent the complexity required AFAIK.

FWIW, Outlook, Lotus, Sun, iPlanet all have or are about to have iCal
support to varying degrees.  I refer you to
http://www.imc.org/ietf-calendar/mail-archive/msg04521.html and the
related thread messages.
