Thanks for the clarification, this is good to know.

But I still believe it makes a lot of sense to define the extended IMAP 
attribute phone specific, because in my experience it is possible that users 
would want to define two different paths of synchronisation for different 
information on their phone.

That way they can synchronise Contacts through ActiveSync and Calendar through 
SuperSync2012, because there are two clients on their "futurephone" that are 
both broken in different ways that we could not anticipate.

Indeed. There may be future synchronisation schemes that use a different source 
number for their identification towards the server, and we cannot exlude a 
potential overlap of these namespaces.

Hence so far I'm still in favor of

	/vendor/kolab/activesync

as the name for the extended IMAP annotation, which could be re-used in case 
someone else (Horde?) came up with another activesync implementation, but 
won't taint the namespaces for other potential syncronisation protocols.

Best regards,
Georg
