AIUI the idea is that you don't want users modifying LDAP data, but they = might want to add notes for their contacts, and two users may have = different notes, or even different phone numbers for the same contact = (the person entrusts only one of the employees with their home phone = number, for example). In the Windows ecosystem Exchange handles mail, calendaring and = contacts. I think the idea is that CardDAV joins IMAP and CalDAV and in = offering an open-standards answer to the same problems.
