We ask for a lot of permissions at install time, and we've noted before that it's not necessary to do so, e.g. there are ways of accessing the calendar without needing to request those permissions on install.

Sorry, but, which ways are you talking about to access calendar without using these permissions?

Using the INSERT Intent lets your application hand off the event insertion task to the Calendar itself. With this approach, your application doesn't even need to have the WRITE_CALENDAR permission included in its manifest file.
