Build Identifier: 1.0b2

There is no way to attach an arbitrary file to an event in Lightning, as mandated by rfc 4791 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4791#section-8.5).  The "Attach" button in the event toolbar only allows entering a URL.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create event in Lightning calendar, and open/edit it
2.Click the Attach button
3.note that it only allows you to enter a URL, with no provision for uploading a file.

Yes, I guess when there are over 600000 bugs (based on the id of this one), searching for existing bugs becomes a **** shoot. Pick the wrong set of keywords and you miss it completely.  in this case, "rfc 4791".  Sigh.
