This is exactly the usage scenario I had in mind: if I want to write
a paper with a colleague of mine who is overseas the shouting approach
is not viable ;) Moreover in that scenario edit sessions tend to be
somewhat long....
Using IM is not always ideal for several reasons (the users of a large 
community may not find an agreement on what IM system to use, not
everyone has IM programs available, those who do not use a IM program
everyday would not install and use it just for this kind of minimal and 
occasional interactions, ....).
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts about this with me :)
Cheers,
  Antonino
