Hear, hear!

Which reminds me: how are you planning to have the address book 
displayed? It doesn't fit very well into the current UI division into 
app areas and collections, or its data into what's displayed in the 
summary view. I'm curious because similar questions might come up with 
other plugins that add new information models to Chandler, and so the 
address book could really set the bar for how those are integrated into 
the UI. Thunderbird keeps its address book in a window separate from 
that used to display accounts, folders and emails, but in Chandler it 
could perfectly well use the summary and detail views.
