The problem goes however further, upon reflection, this affects things like tags, too. Imagine you tag a wave as important, someone else removes it, and you have some bot that sends you an SMS when something changes in a wave you consider important. BOOM! messages missed! So there needs to be a concept of name spaces for tags, both private and public, and the public name spaces must behave according to the type of wave it is (see my previous message). After all, in a BBS-like moderated wave, if the creator/moderator sets a tag, then some random participant shouldn't be able to nuke that tag and mess up all these people that rely on its presence. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Wave API" group.
