Hi David,
Sorry, I didn't see this question on wikimedia-l. Yes, that use case is
important. We've got some ideas about a multi-editable scratchpad space
that's attached to the discussion thread -- it's early days on that
concept, but as you said, we really need to be able to support drafts, and
things like checklists, where multiple people are working through a list of
tasks, discussing items and checking them off when they're done. A
checklist feature is complicated, so we're a little ways away from that,
but I know it's something that we need to build.
In the nearer-term, we're talking about what we need in order to open up
editing of other users' comments. There are good reasons to do that; we
just need to make some changes to the interface to support it. We'll be
talking with interested people about this stuff a lot more over the next
couple weeks, to get more ideas and thoughts.

The same, by the way, goes for VE, which should have had bail and give

what you have now as wikitext from the onset, and Flow which needs a

and convert this thread to ye olde talkpage thread (which I fear will be
batted away as reactionary crank talk, and by the time flow will be done
unneeded anyway)
By the way:
Is Flow going to support the use case of cut'n'pasting a piece from
the article page to the talk page, as a lump of wikitext or as a piece
of rich text from VE?
'Cos if it doesn't, I predict that will be the sticking point with the
people who actually communicate on talk pages.
