Your:

        <p style="font-size: 80%;">

is an accessibility no-no: don't reduce fonts size below 100%.

Better still make the "advert" optional, or get rid of it completely.


Also, ampersands in the summary, location, description or URL are not
escaped to "&amp;"; likewise "<" and ">", allowing HTML tags to be
included.

The hyphen before "at [location]" should be an "&mdash;", preceded by a
space.

You should prompt for a "title" attribute for the <a> link.

The date format "July 19 20, 2006" is US-centric; offer a "19-20 July
2006" variant (with an "&ndash;", but no comma) and consider others.

Allow times to be presented in the more human-readable "7.30pm" format.
