Currently plugin supports ical which is great and essential for all event plugins

However the support is in the form of a data uri. This is FAR from ideal and should be reconsidered. I would suggest a much better approach would unique url that respsents the ical version of the events.

Possible utiising the wordpress custom feed functionality e.g.

for the singular version: https://mysite.com/event/test-event/feed/ical

for index of events: https://mysite.com/future-events/feed/ical/

or utilising a get parameter e.g.

for the singular version: https://mysite.com/event/test-event/?ical=1

for index of events: https://mysite.com/future-events/?ical=1

Bonus points if this scheme suppoorted generating an ical calendar based on a taxonomy e.g. evets with a certain topic.

This approach would have the major adavantage of allowing devices like iphones to subscribe to the calendar of events that would update dyamically. Rather than adding an event to ones calendar that are static and may well end up out of date. More broader is would also be a restful approach.
