Hi Stephen,
while it might be possible to do what you ask for, I think it is error-
prone because people might accidently have something in the headline
which looks like a time. I don't mind so much if Org's agenda
stumbles over this, but I don't want to produce incorrect icalendar
files.
Also, this icalendar export function is programmed in a messy way, and
I don't see a quick way to fix this.
If you can make me a patch, I will take it.
