That's fine, but this doesn't translate into a need to put an addressbook
capability in IMAP.

So use CARDDAV to only upload the stuff that's needed to Google. Problem
solved.

I'll also note that addressbook programs have had facilities for exporting
subsets of the information they contain pretty much from the start. So doing
this  is hardly entering new territory.

And most users want an authoritative address book with all their contact
information in one place. I know I do - it's much too confusing otherwise.
