Not sure if this will make 0.9 or not; I suspect probably not.

Yes, I believe the structure that we've proposed should handle multiple searches without have to resort to referrals. Multiple searches may or may not make it into 0.9 however. > It also is a desirable feature to us to have the ability to customize > the attributes displayed in the addressbook. This is definitely further in the future than 0.9 (unless someone else contributes code to do it sooner); but we do plan to implement this too. > Mind you, I am pleased to get anything into Mozilla, and thank those of > you doing the work.
