Also, I have looked at the examples for the other various languages, and being they all refer to high-level APIs, those examples are useless for those of us who are writing code that directly interfaces to the XML. The only information I've found on the actual XML code is the Reference document (which has no examples) and the Guide document, which has very poor/non-existant examples for things like secondary calendars.

Sorry if I wasn't clear in my suggestion. There is some knowledge to be learned from looking at the high-level APIs, but I am suggesting that you look at the actual code that is used to implement those high-level APIs. Check out the code for the Zend php GData library or Frank's latest .NET library.

This code is doing exactly what you want to be doing in VB, except it is doing it in php, python, java, or .net. It is opening up http connections, making get, post, put and delete requests, parsing xml, etc. You will need to translate to a different language, but it isn't that difficult to learn how the urls and query parameters are used in different scenarios. This is 4 separate reference implementations for what you want to do. Accurate documentation is good, but working code is awesome.
