We should from IETF point of view review the ical spec, and try to push

The timezone offset should be calculated based on the geographical

Yes. http://fanf.livejournal.com/104586.html
I.e. if I (or my application) know something happened at 13:32 on
2010-01-02 in Stockholm, that is I claim the best way of stating when
something happened. Even better example is 13:32 at 2123-01-02 in
Stockholm, as the chance Stockholm still exists in 2123 is higher than
Stockholm use the same daylight savings rule then compared with today.
Yes, though you need a disambiguation flag for times when the clocks go
back.
In general RFC 3339 (i.e. date + time + UTC offset) is right for recording
timestamps of events that have occurred, but wrong for scheduling human
events in the future.
