Excellent description, Dennis!
One word of warning: depending on your settings in Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, it may take a while before the Calendar app notices that the .ics file has been updated, so it is a little dicey to slap a due date (or change one) for something in the next hour or two and rely on that notification unless you make sure to a) sync OmniFocus after making the change, and b) open the Calendar app and make sure the event is updated to reflect the new due date/time. The Calendar app is not aggressive about checking for updates in the interests of saving battery life, and for most users, I think the Calendar engineer(s) made a reasonable design tradeoff, but the Omni usage is a bit out of the ordinary.
