Well, we have discussed it a bunch before, so it should be easy this time. 
:-)

We need a way to for any application to get addresses.  An app should be 
able to look up a particular person and get his address or addresses in 
any message system.

The message systems should be specified using the service type notation 
used elsewhere in KDE (like messaging/xmpp, messaging/icq).  This notation 
will allow KDE apps to match the addresses with plugins or applications 
that support the type, and from there we can do other nice things like have 
KAddressbook find out online or other status of people in the address 
book.

I'm being pretty high-level here.  I hope Martijn doesn't mind that I leave 
to him explaining the lower-level ideas we've come up with over the months 
we've discussed this issue.
