I thought about it once more and the remaining question is: why should I be 
able at all to configure a "global" Retrieving of FB in KOrganizer if I 
have to provide detailed info in the addressbook anyway?

I mean, given that an address someone at kde.org is a Kolab ID, then I never 
would assume to have an FB URL like webdav://kde.org/... because in either 
way you will need to specify a concrete host in this domain carrying the 
Kolab server.
