I think ZideStore can somehow autogenerate fake email addresses for  
matching. But anyways, thats how iCalendar works, there is little we  
can do about it.
(we can add X- tags, but those are not ensured to preserved, hence not  
reliable).

Well, it can be useful in some situations. But I guess abuse is the  
bigger issue.
