Actually I don't think that's a good way to solve it.
As I stated the solution should be to DELEGATE to Thunderbird/Lightning.
Other DAV servers do it. For instance, if you try to use a simple
CalDAV server such as Radicale (http://radicale.org/) it allows
Thunderbird/Lightning to manage the events an decide for every event
whether to send a notification or not.

getting this annoying behaviour.
When I accept or create an event and invite someone, every time I get
the reminder (let's say for instance 30 minutes before the event) I
have to options:
- Silent for x minutes.
- Discard the event.
Weirdly in both cases Horde/SabreDAV send the notification to all
attendees, but IMHO this makes no sense.
Why would they want to know if I have internally postponed my reminder
a few minutes??
Or just that I accept and discard?
Therefore, there is NO WAY to use reminders and avoid sending no mails
every time the reminder comes to time.
It is the same for every other action.
Using Horde web interface let you choose whether to send it or not,
but using an external client like Lightning does not offer you that
option. I have gone a bit further. Thunderbird manages the events when
using local or WebDAV event, being Thunderbird the one that let you
choose whether to send the mail or not, and is Thunderbird itself who
sends the mails. But using CalDAV is Horde the one who sends the
mails, being Thunderbird unable to let you choose.
There should be some delegation to Thunderbird, or at least the option
to configure when to send mails to attendees, avoiding to flood them
with a lot of messages for a single event.
