But then we would need to put it on all Kolab clients.
Currently it is good for users that Outlook/Toltec and Kontact
work the same regarding this.

From the usability point of view, it would be very good to know
what can be entered in the ACL dialog, best if completion options are 
offered.  I guess this is even more important then to hide the "group:"
prefix. 

Overall I do think that the effort needed (and the risk breaking other stuff)
is too much for the gain at this point. We have bigger fish to fry.
