I consider tightly integrated email and calendaring to be something not
doable in a standards-based environment and not to be given up.
I consider all of the things you consider detrimental to sometimes be

I totally disagree. Again: if a list also meets off-list or by chat,
integrated scheduling would be a boon. For that matter, delivering a
usable Java or ActiveX chat thin-client in a message body would be as well.
