No, I relied on Cosmo's repository browser to display the address book
information and had to use command line tools like curl, HTTPTest as a
client. Because of the merge and mainly because of the time constraint I
had to avoid building the web client. 

On the other hand some one from the Chandler team has to extend the
contact management work to make it talk CardDAV. 

As you said I don't know of any client which implements CardDAV and thus
CardDAV support will be usable only when there is a client
implementation.
