12:02 < Mithrandir> davyd: the suggestion in 
                    http://people.collabora.co.uk/~davyd/telepathy-book/sect.messaging.rich.html on 
                    not acking messages until they've been parsed so you get it again when the 
                    client reloads is a bit of a double edged sword, since you can then get into a 
                    crash scenario you can't get out of
12:03 < wjt> Mithrandir: the channel dispatcher solves that
12:03 < davyd> Mithrandir: yes, except Channel Dispatcher
12:03 < wjt> Mithrandir: it's responsible for blowing away a channel if its handler repeatedly dies
12:03 < Mithrandir> ah
12:03 < davyd> we probably should mention that

If we're going to do that, MC should actually implement the documented behaviour :-)
