FWIW, Google Calendar does support CalDAV:

https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/caldav/v2...

It also supports a richer API, for features that don't fit into CalDAV:

https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/overview

While I tend to agree with what I think is your point, it's all well and good to say that there's a standard and one should use it (which I support, and have worked on many throughout my career), but standards aren't a panacea either, especially since many of best standards are ones that standardize a previously proprietary (but working!) design.

(No relationship with the calendar team, but I'm pretty sure they'll read this thread if you have comments for them.)

Please see my comment below about their support of CalDAV (only for specific clients, they keep changing the endpoint location).

CalDAV is a standardization of a previously proprietary but working design (apple's icalendar work) that most all other vendors support except for Google.
