Does IMP really need to know which attributes are email fields?

In IMP's addressbook settings, the attributes available for address  
expansion seems to be read from the search array in Turba's  
sources.php. Why not simply use these chosen attributes when searching  
for the certificate as well instead of an hardcoded single attribute?
