ICQ is the only plugin that's already using the address book part of the API 
currently ;-)

The address book fields store the data that makes sense in kabc once we add 
support for that, so they are definitely not old API. Nor are the normal 
plugin-data fields btw. They have a completely different goal. See 
KopeteMetaContact's code/header for some docs.

Btw: I'm working on the serializing API for contacts currently to make it 
easier to use. After that you can expect all plugins to use the 
kabc-compatible API, and also serializing of contacts in general to be a lot 
easier. (3 lines of code per kopetecontact instead of the 20+ lines that most 
plugins use now.)
