That would be no solution for us, as our users demand autocompletion for
all addresses at our University.
Because of this, our users would combine their personal address book
with the global one.
This would result in a full synchronisation of all addresses (in our
case 14000+) for each Apple Address Book user.
And this would also break data protection laws here in germany, as I
said before (see LDAP).


Kind regards,
