Accessible Online Calendars

On behalf of a group here at Iowa: Anyone have any good experience with online calendar accessibility? The group in question wants to implement a pretty sophisticated calendar of events and is concerned about accessibility. One developer questions whether a calendar should be considered tabular data at all.

My thought is that the visual layout can *appear* tabular, for visual convenience, but that another semantic model for events (sorted by date, venue, etc) could be more useful. Ideas?
