Someone more familiar with table column semantics could maybe explain  
how that works (I've never used it), but you could also do this with  
the include pattern [1]:

<tr class="vevent">
   <td class="summary">Event 1</td>
   <td><abbr title="20070101" class="dtstamp">2007-01-01</abbr></td>
   <td><a href="http://example.org/event1" class="url">subscribe</a></ 
td>
   <td class="vcard"><span class="fn">Organiser 1</span><a  
class="include" href="#email1"></a></td>
   <td><a id="email1" href="mailto:email1 at example.org"  
class="email">contact</a></td>
</tr>

Also, I'm guessing you probably want "dtstart" instead of "dtstamp".   
The former indicates when an event is happening, the latter when it  
was published.
