Let me clarify in detail: AddressBook's CardDAV support does represent 
groups as vCards on the server. When we were working on this implementation 
we were hoping that vCard v4 would be done so we could leverage that (the 
KIND property). However, we had to stick with vCard v3, but we basically 
followed the v4 model by having an X-ADDRESSBOOKSERVER-KIND property for 
the KIND, and X-ADDRESSBOOKSERVER-MEMBER properties for the membership 
list. We also use the CATEGORIES on the individual vCard records to show 
which groups they belong to (though the group vCard membership list is 
definitive).

So as far as I am concerned KIND is important.
