Hm. I might give this a shot. Or I might not worry about it.

The bulk of the contacts I want to pull in are all handled by my Google 
account anyway. Googling isn't really making it clear to me why Google Data 
resources aren't appearing under System Settings...which I take to be because 
I have kde-plasma/systemsettings (Plasma 5), not kde-base/systemsettings 
(KDE4). And as I recall, Kontact hasn't been ported to Plasma 5 yet.

CardDAV-Sync may be my only option in the short term.

I already use Dropbox, so I suppose I could run a WebDAV server on top of a 
folder tucked away in there. That would, conveniently, also get picked up by 
my backups.
