What about sending command type hints within the json, that get translated to php on the server:

{
  'commands' : [
    {
      'name' : 'run',
      'params' : ['once', 10]
    }
  ]
}

Ultimately, I probably will create a transformation to iCal, but
initially it isn't my goal. For internal use, I want to skip the
intermediate type, which really more complex than what my application or
Web site needs.

If you want to publish calendar event information, you should use
iCal/iCalendar instead of making up your own format.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar   => text/calendar
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XCal  => application/calendar+xml
