In that interpretation, there only needs to be one scribe, with is an advantage. Another BIG advantage of this is that if I write (as a jabber scribe) something like Audience member ? : this proposal conflicts with RFC <mumble> I am likely to get a rapid response providing what <mumble> means and who the speaker is. After the fact, this sort of thing is much harder to reconstruct. A disadvantage is that it typically overwhelms normal discussion on the jabber channel. I have suggested that each session get _2_ jabber channels, one for chat, one for scribing, but so far this has not gotten any support.
