The proposed User::Identity with respect to address books has about the
same relation as e-mail addresses to mail-folders. There are somewhat
related, but have a wider use.
Many applications have a need for User information: address books, e-mail
tools, databases, configuration systems, etc etc. So the common devider
should take its own name space.
