We have a number of "living documents" that are the specification for the project I'm currently working on. It's terrible. There's no easy way to know that changes have been made or what they are. Sure, there's red-lining and history. But it requires me to visually scan the document for changes every day, sometimes ever hour. Sure emailing a copy isn't ideal, but it does have the advantage of saying "Here is a set of ideas that I've decided is complete" As opposed to "Watch my stream of consciousness and decide whether it's done or in mid-edit and act on it."

I agree with your concept but I wish more people treated email like rather than as a stream of consciousness or a series of one-line exchanges that would be better off as chats (in some situations, anyways)
