ok, you're right. I think the first thing I'll implement is a event-list 
ordered by date (with gaps list of days without events) as you described 
below.

how about having "dummy"-pages (one per month) with references to a date 
but no event. I think that will only work using categories of dates, 
then defining a page with all days of a month as single category-references.
A dummy-page per day would be not convinient I think.
