Only if you had Kara Trace in your address book already. But if you add it after you start monitoring, you need to query the whole database to see if Kara has been added or not to your address book. And if she did, then you start monitoring of her. Imaging that you have 10 different girls with name Kara Trace in your address book. Then you have to subscribe to 10 different URIs, and still to keep monitoring if a new Kara Trace entry has been added to your address book. Further, my application/service would have to subscribe to all database changes, as someone may rename another contact and name her Kara Trace. Then, what if I want to add Sharon Valerii too? The system will be overloaded with my observers, and the amount of work is just... ridiculous.
