I think the hard part with this issue is getting the UI right. We're still aiming for a Chandler that facilitates small workgroup collaboration without the aid of an IT administrator.

Users would need to understand how to create and manage groups. The difference between groups on the server and groups in their contacts manager, or maybe there isn't one?

And other members of the group would need a way to discover those groups.

Who would have access privileges to create and edit these groups? Can ownership of groups change hands if someone leaves an organization?

Maybe you just send an email to helpdesk and open a ticket ;o)

Yep -- with a server that does ACL and CalDAV fully, this should be possible.  This is certainly in the rough Cosmo plan.

 The reason I ask is perhaps its possible to look up a group, and get back a set of URLs that the client can go check for free-busy information. So if you can look up "OSAF Apps" and get a set of URLs that correspond to the members of the group, perhaps those URLs could also refer to users/urls on other servers as well.

 then it would be up to the client to merge this information appropriately.
