Re-iterating what I've said countless times: Use-cases and UI need to be
designed before you "move on to implementing meta-contacts.".

You can't come up with a good design for anything until you've worked out
what the goals you're aiming for are.

Would love to see a section on which apps would use metacontacts, and
exactly what information each app actually needs to extract, and what
actions they need to do from a pure end user perspective. Every time we
argue on KTp about the design of this it's because we haven't a united
decision on what we're actually trying to build.
