Make yourself happy by remembering that netscape calendar doesn't do it right 
either (I think) :)

Just as an example of a untimed day-event in netscape calendar.  Here is the 
vevent:
 
BEGIN:VEVENT
ATTENDEE;ROLE=OWNER;STATUS=CONFIRMED:Erik Bagfors
CATEGORIES:SPECIAL OCCASION
DTSTART:19981102T230000Z
DTEND:19981102T230100Z
SUMMARY:day-event
PRIORITY:3
STATUS:TENTATIVE
UID:256-1-1057758337-1
END:VEVENT


Gnomecal would say that this is an event from 23:00:00 to 23:01:00 UTC I would 
guess.  I suppose gnomecal does it right and nscal wrong :)

Keep up the good work.
