Relying on admins to bind instances is too much restriction on who you can share with. I don't understand how this method saves any resources. Exchanging the list of users and groups might be nice, but I don't see why this is necessary. The main use case I see for sharing between instances is for two individuals with their own independent instances. Sharing with a group or looking through the user list on a different instance sounds really strange. The best possible solution is to integrate sharing with the contacts app and allow the linking of a contact to a remote ownCloud instance user.
