[webkit-dev] Adding ENABLE_CONTACTS to WebCore

[Ojan Vafai]

Can you give an example of a smooth UI that you'd need the more complex API
for? When I think of the existing mail and chat apps in iOS/Android that
I've use, <input type=contacts> could give just as smooth a UI as the
existing apps, it's just on the browser side to make the UI good instead of
on the web developer side.
