Open Questions
-
How is threading handled? Should threading be handled at all? See Related for some discussion on threading
-
Can a model for a response be generalized by making elements optional, or are the differences too great?
[DannyAyers RefactorOk] From working on threading stuff in the context of ThreadsML, I've gained the impression that this is quite a significant task in its own right. There's a lot more than simple comments/replies to consider, e.g. see IBIS. I would therefore recommend that if any support is provided in the current project then it be kept quite loose, so that external module(s) can be used to override/extend the definition of the entry-entry relationships.
[AsbjornUlsberg] +1. I agree with you, Danny. Keep it loose.
