  TagAutocompleter, ResourceAutocompleter, ContactAutocompleter and  
UserAutocompleter are implemented as so-called Imple's - They are an  
archaic form of ajax framework. We should design replacements for them  
using horde/http_server and horde/routes.

  There is some loss/mismatch of information between users/attendees  
restored from a saved event and those newly added through the  
autocompleter. Also, it would be good to have the same window for  
users and "email attendees" as it feels unnatural to users and also  
complicates the backend code.

--> Have a unified KronolithUserAttendeeAutocompleter which searches  
both addressbook entries and users (if listable or searchable)
+-> Have a unified KronolithUserAttendeeAutocompleter which searches  
both addressbook entries and users (if listable or searchable) OR a  
middleware-based equivalent. In the middleware case, more custom JS is  
needed to emulate/replace the imple behaviour.
  -> Use the unified autocompleter
  -> drop the specific user field
  -> Make the backend smart enough to recognize users either way
+
+kronolith.js addAttendee already CAN accept EITHER a string or a  
predefined object. Maybe this can be used independently from the Imple  
framework.

  Users COULD be privileged by having kronolith automatically  
add/update their copy of an event ("Local delivery") rather than  
sending out itips.
