Re: to/cc/bcc extension

[John Panzer]

 I like  the concept and this may be a reasonable implementation.  
There's related work done on this for OStatus and Salmon which might be 
worth looking at.

My big question though is what the semantics of this are supposed to be; 
the names are suggestive of email, clearly intentionally, but the spec 
doesn't state this.  Are there suggested semantics?  Or is intended to 
inherit semantics from email (which inherited from business snail mail...)?

(Also, bcc is untenable for use with signed content.)
