Upcoming events list via RSS [#9766]

To make it easier for Website RSS subscribers to get a list of upcoming events, create an RSS feed that contains a list of events that will happen on or after the current date and time.

The feed should contain the event name, the date and time it will happen, the location, and a description.

The amount of time in the future that the feed will reach could be configurable by a site admin. The default could be 7 days or one month.

There could be multiple feeds at different URLs to provide other ranges -- one feed for events in the next week, another feed for events in the next month. One feed should be be the default, if there is a way it can be auto-discovered by RSS readers.

It would be nice to be able to import an RSS Event feed from one Drupal
site into another. Then overlay the events from one site onto a calendar
on your local site. This could be user configurable to set which "overlays"
or "layers" they'd like to see. Basically provide a checkbox list of the
RSS feed events available - then show them.

I currently work with about 6 drupal sites that all relate to Adventure
Racing - it's a tight knit community and we post events on all of the
differing calendars. It's a pain in the butt-tooty to post them in 6
different places when this could just "propogate" to all of the calendars.

There is a current PHP Calendar program that has a similar approach which
they call Layers - no RSS import. But it's an AWESOME calendaring system.

An RSS feed for events would be wonderful, but don't make it Drupal-specific... I know about ESF (found it somewhere else among event module discussions), are there any other standards for RSS-based event feeds with a good chance of wide adoption?
