I was thinking of the same thing. People could make public (perhaps to
varying degrees) their schedules. [Sort of an elaborate .plan] Then to
schedule an appointment, a person could use a typical e-mail interface
or some other interface, like a calendar combining the known
appointments of everyone being invited.

The receivers may choose to see appointment requests as "penciled in"
in their calendar or as an e-mail message or something else.
Attributes of the "request" may alter the appearance or method of
reception. E.g. a boss' request would be in RED in the calendar. Some
other request may show up in the trash can.
