Yes.

Apart from the missing UI this will automatically happen when/if KNode 
is ported to Akonadi/Nepomuk.

This is already present in KMail and it will be provided by 
Akonadi/Nepomuk. So, again, you just have to port KNode to Akonadi. ;-)

Correct.

Note that our master plan still includes merging of KMail and KNode (at 
least code-wise) resp. making both use the same code as much as 
possible.

Also note, that KNode currently has 0 developers AFAIK. Also, I guess 
Volker would be happy if you took over maintainership of KNode. ;-) 
Volker will correct me if I'm wrong.
