It's all baked into the calendar mechanism itself. Exposing that one piece (the formatting) creates a huge cascade. We looked into it, and it is NOT easy.

If we were using the operating system mechanisms, THEN it would be easy. But we're not. And if we were using the O/S mechanisms, then none of the calendar stuff we've built would be able to added to existing content.

Thank you Rob, that actually explains a lot.
