are you going to leave one out in future releases?

so why not to expose methods to show a map of <uid, ..properties..> ?
It enables webservices to be a replacement of sql access.

if I create a cached browser for horde contacts/calendar, I got  
browsing data <Id, modified, ..> but when i insert an item, the ws  
returns the uid..
As cache checks etag/timestamp to (in)validate the item, actual horde  
ws behavior makes impossible to create a "fast" cache, forcing to  
continuously use getActionTimestamp on each item (with the overhead  
due to the amount of ws call - about 1sec each).

and webdav
