Yes it is. That’s why you create a way for it to be something they want to enable. When we talked to Apple about this, they gave us some examples from other apps that they liked. Here is our version (its a link to an image): http://www.pocketinformant.com/Forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach§

To Safari - probably not. You’d have to bring up the document interaction controller, which would bring up any app that supports ICS - which would bring up the Calendar app. That would do what you want, but it would also invoke a lot more UI…which seems like it’d be simpler to just allow access.
