Great :-)

I think it would be useful to use 'Calendars of NAME' or 'Calendars  
(NAME)'.

Rational: if you have a server setup which does CalDAV and CardDAV it  
will be hard to distinguish caldav homesets from carddav homesets.

Actually there are two variants:
a) caldav homeset and carddav homeset point to the same
    collection (in that case just NAME would be fine)
b) caldav and carddav homesets are managed by distinct
    servers

In case b) one would end up with a hierarchy like:

   user
     calendars
       personal
       company
     contacts
       personal
       company

If the homesets are just the login names, the user won't know w/o  
opening the tree.


[a bit off topic for calserver]

To increase the complexity a bit further ;-) .. actually the homesets  
are _sets_. So the principals homeset could list multiple accounts on  
different servers.
Like:

   user
     calendars on home machine
       personal
       family
     calendars on work server
       meetings
       events

Greets,
