Absolutely. For most clients/apps developed as they are today this is not 
useful and would not be used. But if you were making a specially handled 
client that eg did not send or request presence from anyone, did sealed 
sender / sealed recipient with a TBD onion routing XEP, and other things 
then this could be a useful building block to still allow syncing contacts 
between multiple such apps instead of having them just local.

We may be going cart-before-the-horse here but OTOH having a building block 
isn't bad.
