It all comes down to character sets. I have some entries that have UTF-8 characters that are not present in ASCII, specifically accented characters and similar (latin1, basically, but not exclusively). Any such entries cause the synchronisation to fail. Resuming a failed synchronisation seems to forget to try to bring in the external calendar entries into org? In other words, resuming doesn't really resume but seems to start at some later point. Not sure. In any case, temporarily, I have commented out the problem entries from my org agenda files and everything now works very well indeed, including two way synchronisation of creating, deleting and changing. The fact that descriptions are not synchronised for changed entries is something I understand but probably need to think about some more (in terms of default behaviour). Is there a practical limitation on the size of the description entry that could be synchronised? The default is 100 but would there be any harm in having this 1, 2 or even 3 orders of magnitude larger? Or even unlimited? Just wondering. Anyway, with respect to my problems, would you please have a look to see if you are assuming ASCII or similar and whether there is anything you can do about this? I (and many others, I assume) really do need to be able to work in UTF-8 at the very least. I am hooked on org-caldav already and would hate to have to go back to my old system!
