Most WP users are not comfortable with editing templates. There's a  
steady trickle of users who ask how to add ec3_get_calendar() to their  
sidebar. I don't think those users should be expected to do more, so  
they should be given the most useful set-up as a default.

I believe that default set-up has to display the event date/time both  
from within the loop and on the single-post page. I couldn't think of a  
more elegant way to do it than

Now, I don't really like the idea of adding stuff in  
filter:the_contents, but it seemed like the best way to do it. I'm open  
to alternative suggestions.

I see it, but I don't understand what's going on. Why is the text for  
that sidebar going through filter:the_contents at all?? Which post's  
content is being filtered?

You might like the try the latest code from Subversion - Darrell has  
added some code to restrict content filtering to posts. That might  
solve your problem.

Can you post a patch so that I can see exactly what you did?
