Addressbook. Should be possible to add to it from readers and get from it
in composer. This would means either:

- enfore use of standard desktop AB (kab ?) 
- bundle addressbook with composer and enforce all readers use it
- define a common interface and have all readers comply, then learn
composer use the reader-of-choice's internal addressbook.
