If an event title/description/etc. contains html-encoded entities, those
entities remain html-encoded in the iCalendar feed. They should probably be
html-decoded.

To do this right we should probably strip tags before html-decoding (since
HTML is not part of the iCalendar spec either).

We should also make sure that the iCalendar output is being delivered with
the correct MIME headers so that we don't have to worry about garbled UTF-8
(see http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2447.txt and search for "charset" for more
info).
