Good points.  I'm going to complicate matters slightly.

I'd like the date to be required but start/end times optional.  How should 
I keep track of whether this is an all-day event (no specific time) or 
meeting with time specified.  Perhaps an all-day-flag field?

Trivial questions?  Probably.  But I like to hear how others approach 
things and this list has been real quiet lately!
