Yes, but it also describes how the distribution lists can be stored as
xml document.

So what's the difference between a group of contacts and a distribution
list? ;)

That data structure is mainly used for grouping contacts, sending mails
to multiple persons and using the lists as base for form letters in
kword. As you are free to fill the list with references to contacts only, where the
contacts have all fields set, it can be used for everything.

Ciao,
