   The willingness to consider a "pencilled-in" appointment might be
   stronger than we think.  What if we could see "scheduled events", which
   we have not committed to, on our calendar?

Someone sent me email with a similar suggestion.  I don't think this would
work because it would lead to the person who scheduled the meeting having
too high a degree of uncertainty.  She'd have to go around and ask everyone
whether they were coming or not.  This would lead to a huge decrease in the
value of the information on the system which would lead to people stopping
using it.

I think.
