Thanks for the tips, everyone.

I finally got around to setting up radicale-remind, and I'm impressed so
far at its ability to synchronize both ways between a clean-looking
remind file and the calendar on my phone. I haven't tried anything
complicated yet, though. Thanks Jochen! Based on this, it looks like
remind is a good place to store my calendar events even though I don't
care about actual reminders, and the lack of timezone support isn't
getting in my way yet; I'm already used to converting times to UTC.

Saša, thanks for the pointer to etm. Remind+CalDAV seems great so far,
but maybe I will try using etm for todos.
