In addition to what others have said, I'll note that the export process
"flattens" all entries with dates, so the structure of the org file
itself matters less. Apologies if you already knew that...

thanks to both of you for the hints -- I have my dates in the headlines themselves for various reasons, so I think I have to write a quick export filter to remove them from the ics output. Running a little short o ntime for the start of class (!) but maybe in the next week or s; if I get it to work I'll report back.
