What about users that do not have an account with the Kolab server, but
still need the F/B info?  When I mention "privileged user", I'm
referring to a user much like the "freebusy" credentials that already
exist - some identity anonymous people can use to retrieve someones
published F/B info.

And the idea is that: since that identity is already there, why not use
it for retrieval by everybody?  Otherwise, each user would have to
maintain ACL's for the Calendar directory to allow/disallow access from
all the different users Kolab, rather than just "allow or disallow the
privileged user used for publishing".

This approach could work best if the goal is to allow truly selective
f/b publishing (i.e. using ACL's to achieve very granular access
control), but I don't think that kind of access control is the goal.
