You're right that this was ambiguous. I changed the former use to
wave.google.com throughout.

I removed the last sentence. Jon Tirsen mentions a few things about
groups in the Access Control white paper:
https://sites.google.com/a/waveprotocol.org/wave-protocol/whitepapers/access-control
There's more to say about this and we will share more as we go and, as
always, welcome input.

Done.

Done.

Done.

No. It's the responsibility of the sender to deliver any updates (much
like email). This solution makes access control stronger and simpler
but it's possible that it's too rigid in practice. It may be
appropriate to revisit this in the future.

I simplified this sentence. It should be easier to parse now.

Thank you for the suggestion. I changed this to "offer a reasonable
level of end-to-end security"

It is! We're keeping ourselves busy.

Thank you very much for your feedback.
