We will always need a distributed, general messaging protocol. That's what email is. If you create a "todo list protocol", it wont replace email. It will either run on top of email, or along side it, but it wont replace it.

Sure, you could bolt on abstractions over it like doc/rtf etc. but at the most fundamental level you need some form of cross compatibility.
