Aha! Different use cases. In my world, I use chat systems primarily for 
discussing designs with a group of developers, many reading the messages 
and a few writing them. We also find it useful to have the discussion 
archived so we can refer each other back to some useful discussion that 
took place before, maybe while I wasn't present, or maybe I can't 
remember all the good ideas that were said.

That is my shade of grey between "fully published documents" and "seen 
once, then it's gone".

Maybe that's not going to be a use case that Ring will ever want to 
address. That's OK, it doesn't have to try to be all things to all people.
