This is an interesting idea; in practice, it is more difficult
than expected. I've observed that several times: the "medium"
(presentation, whatever) does influence communication style
and patterns, and you "feel" bumps at medium boundaries.

I've seen that with a mail capable forum (Discourse), which I've
been taking part for five years. Heck, I've seen that with plain
old mail, using mutt and immersed in an Outlook environment.

It'll take a lot of thought and design to overcome that. I even
think that the very thought of "media agnostic" will be a challenge
to most users ("this red thingy on the upper right").

Nevertheless, I'm interested in ideas/papers/thoughts on it,

Cheers
