IMAP is great for sharing of folders but really needs a defined
mechanism for handling data objects that can change.
     

Yes, and it's called ACAP. It's a companion protocol. (See the IMAP,
IMSP and ACAP mailing list archives for the discussion which
led to the
design of ACAP.)
ACAP is defined in RFC 2244. There are a number of relevant
internet-drafts, all named draft-*-acap-*.

I thought that "ACAP" stood for "Application configuration access
protocol" Not shared groupware objects protocol .
What is the difference?

I don't see the connection between an address book entry and an ACAP
entry!
Addressbook is a piece of an application configuration, so an 
addressbook is one of the objects that can be stored in ACAP.
