That is indeed the case. Use the same sync URL as for the SyncEvolution
client and the "addressbook", "calendar", "todo", "memo" names as URIs.

Should there be a third HOWTO covering the "phone <-> SyncEvolution HTTP
SyncML server with Evolution" case or can you think of some changes to
the existing HOWTOs which avoids the need for such a third one?

That should work. I used the Android client for a while against a
SyncEvolution HTTP SyncML server myself, for pretty much the same
reasons. I only stopped because I switched to synchronizing against my
work calendar and addressbook (via CalDAV and SyncML).
