Thank you. Please see below for work in progress.

Aside: Can anyone suggest a tutorial, clear examples, or  other
resource, to improve my understanding of 'axis' and 'headers', please?

Perhaps not. What is the correct way to abbreviate the end date of a
one-day event? Did you perhaps not look at the table concerned:

        http://www.westmidlandbirdclub.com/birmingham/field.htm

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#

I have attempted to mark up an event from one of my other pages [1],
using 'axis' and 'headers' So far, I have come up with this (valid)
mark-up [2]:

    <tr>

        <th scope="row" axis="date" id="dt20061129">
        <abbr class="dtstart" title="20061129T0800">Wednesday, 29
        November 2006</abbr>
        <abbr class="dtend" title="20061129T1800">&nbsp;</abbr>
        </th>

        <td axis="speaker" id="sp20061129">Graham Bell</td>

        <td axis="subject" id="sb20061129">Siberian Dream</td>

        <td class="vevent" headers="dt20061129 sp20061129 sb20061129">
        <span class="summary">A talk about gulls in Russia.
        </span>
        </td>

    </tr>

but cannot see how to include hCalendars's "location" or "URL". In this
case, the URL should be that of the page on which the event appears, but
obviously I don't want a self-link on that page; the location is common
to all events on the page, but is not part of the table.
