The code at calendarserver.org is the same code used in OS X's iCalServer - 
so the namespaces are the same for all server-based properties and features.

"calendar-color" is a property being stored by the client (it has no 
special meaning or behavior on the server). As such, client defined 
properties can have whatever namespace is appropriate. The iCal client 
folks choose to use their own namespace.
