 CalServer only exposes accounts as principals (aka WebDAV properties),
 though it adds some contact fields, eg firstname/lastname.

 A big issue with the principals in the context of synchronization is that
 we can't track changes using etags :-/ This more or less prohibits
 synchronized 'Accounts' folders. (eg we could otherwise expose groups as
 contact folders and group members as contacts inside those, resource
 folders etc)

 So, it would be *very* helpful, if principal resources would be GETtable
 vCards, with an etag. A fast hack would do :-) It doesn't need to support
 full CardDAV (PUT etc), just a minimal vCard representation would be great
 (just FN/N vCard properties in the simplest case ...).
