Have you correlated your ideas against Google's "wave"?  You
don't need to agree with the shiny web-GUI front end (although it
*is* very shiny), but IMO there's an awful lot to like about the
message-passing back-end design.  Once you accept that you
probably want to run your own server instance, rather than
just connect to someone elses.  It bares quite a resemblance to
some of your description, above. (And (for slight relevance to the
list) I believe that the back-end message engine is written in
Erlang, so you could do the same sort of thing in
scheme+terminte.)

Cheers,
