In the sense that you can give rights to their folders that other users 
subsequently can see.

You cannot, but the resonsible person can do so with their client
(which is more comfortable anyway). As a machine administrator, you can do 
this with cyradm or some script to set the ACLs and annotations.

There is very little gain in using this namespace, but a number of possible 
pitfalls you can fall in. Also the webadmin was never ment to be a full IMAP 
folder handling application. Clients might deal with them differently than
the "user" namespace. Technically they work, so you could use them.
