The Horde apps don't know about each other directly. Each app know about 
services that are provided by any other Horde app. These services are 
defined in config/registry.php and implemented and the application's 
lib/api.php.

So it's possible, that one can have another addressbook application than 
Turba but all interaction to IMP still works if this other application has 
the API as defined in registry.php.

We currently only have interactions based on links and function calls. 
Mike's patch is based on javascript and works only with Turba. If this 
shall be used in the main code, someone has to think about how this 
interaction can be handled based on an api, perhaps with callback handlers 
or whatever.
