But, LDAP is not simple. And you lose some of the features with ldap, 
kab offers to you. With LDAP you can not enter home address and office 
address to one person (as I remeber well) - at least I did not get it. 
OK, you can enter it, but it is not stored into the LDAP directory. The 
next time you search for the address it is missing. You can not save 
the prefered signing/encrypting settings into LDAP and some others 
more.

There have to be a special LDAP ObjectClass for kab with all the 
features kab has.

I do use LDAP very intensive since about 6 jears, but I do not use LDAP 
for my private addresses. Currently I use vcard in a directory.
