Pub/Sub "worksforme" and is the best answer to your stated problem,
since it maintains the full structure of Drupal.

You need the full content of the event to come across. Otherwise you
will be writing an event namespace in RSS, then re-parsing it and
turning it back into an event node. Pub/Sub.

Pub/Sub. Bug JohnVanDyk. Money works, code would be much appreciated as well.
