   iCal relies on OpenDirectory to do user/room completion.  For the  
time being, at least, you have to enter a valid calendar user addresd  
into the location field.  You can add user using the <cuaddr> tag in  
the XML file (eg: mailto:mercury at example.com), or use the URL for the  
room (/principals/locations/Mercury/).

   Hrm.  I'm not sure that iCal is trying to do there...  try "mailto:testuser at example.com 
" and see if that sends a request to the server.

   That feature relies on OpenDirectory, as I mentioned above.

   Unfortunately, I think you are being limited by what iCal knows how  
to do at the moment.
