Application / AddressBook integration issues

Hello,

I read the AddressBook API. It is rather clear.
What is less clear though is the strategy for sharing data.
I understood I could recuperate from AddressBook a unique id for the records and as it is said in the documentation, if I need to store a reference to an  address book record in my app, that's the id I should use.

Ok, but what happens if my data (it is a CoreData application) is used by more than one user (it could be a CoreData document sent to another user for example).

The ideal would be "if the unique record id doesn't exist in that other users address book, create it". But... I can't create a ABRecord specifying the unique id!!

The other way would be to first sync the address books (more complex) but does the sync process also sync the unique id or is a new one created??

Thanks for any strategy ideas!!

Alex
