Hmmm, understood. Although i think any url within the surrounding vevent 
container should belong to the vevent. Or you may argue, that any link 
_directly_ contained in the vevent container belongs to that vevent, any 
other url contained in some container within vevent belong to that container, 
as in your example.

Ease of adoption is an argument :) Although i think in most cases it is still 
redundant.

Well, there you need the photo property, but not the url property, since the 
href implicitely _is_ a url. The src attribute of the img container as well. 
The href (and src and data) attributes imply a url, so it is redundant to add 
a "url" property. 

O.k. i can understand your first argument. So the property "url" does not say 
that here we have a url, but here we have _that_ url among several others. 
Hmm, sounds somewhat weird, but acceptable.
