It was somewhat useful (I read it a long time ago) but it's old and I hoped to discover that there is finally some standard schema for the shared address book entries. Unfortunately it looks like a vain hope and the best solution in practice is probably to use mozillaOrgPerson one. Of course, ideal would be to support flexible mappings between address-book fields and the LDAP attributes, as many other schemas are used too (Outlook uses a similar but different one, evolutionPerson is different again and I don't know what does KMail/KContact use yet). Anyhow, it doesn't seem that difficult finally, it's just that I was shocked to discover -- and spent a few hours trying to convince myself that it wasn't true -- that there was no standard for this.
