I haven't actually heard of any others that do it that way.

There is a trick you can do which is as follows:
1) Create a normal collection (not a calendar or addressbook) in your
wife's account.
2) BIND each of the collections to be merged into that collection
(there's been discussion about BIND on this mailing list before).
3) Enable the 'get_includes_subcollections' configuration option.
This will arrange things so that GET requests
on .../caldav.php/wifeusername/normalcollection.ics will return a merged
set of all of the bound collections.
Kinda complicated, and no UI for it :-(
The only problem is that this calendar will be read-only, so you might
still need to keep your wife's main collection separate so she can write
to that.
Cheers,
Andrew.
