If they are exchanged via Freetalk it will bloat the messages.
Further, I was told to implement CHK messages in Freetalk because messages
could not fit into SSK. So now Freetalk uses SSK message lists to publish
CHK URI of the messages... If the CHK URI become insanely long then the
message lists will be bloated very much and maybe only five messages or so
will fit into a SSK message list. Sucks.
