What exactly does it do? The generate() is not that complex. Just an XML 
structure of the current date?

There was a thread on users list about a "real" CalendarGenerator based 
on an external format like iCal:

It generates an XML representation of any given month. If you're 
familiar with the old Unix "cal" program, it does just that. I'm now 
going to prepare a little sample with a stylesheet that generates an 
HTML calendar.

As it stands, of course, it's not that useful. My plan is to make it 
easily extensible, so that, if you have any kind of resource with a 
date, you can attach an XML represantation of it beneath the 
corresponding calendar:day node:

<calendar:day date="8 Apr 2004">
   <item>
     <title>A sample dated item</title>
     <pubdate>2004-04-08</pubDate>
   </item>
</calendar:day>

I gave a look at vCal/xCal, but I wanted something that could be easily 
transformed via XSL-T into something like this [1], and it didn't seem 
that *Cal could fit the bill.
