Other protocols would likely want to store different metadata, or at least in 
different format. Since we would then be in a namespace conflict, this seemed 
like the right abstraction level.

Agreed.

AFAWK, Yes.

The current configuration layout allows to have as many devices as you want, 
and individually set your synchronisation preferences for each of them.

There are two places where this information can logically go: LDAP & IMAP.

LDAP has been excluded for a wide variety of reasons which Thomas and Sascha 
can highlight again if you feel the need to go through the motions one more 
time. That is why the conclusion has been to put this into a private extended 
annotation.
