Re: Marking micro-blogging status messages?

Hi,

Raising this again as I haven't seen reactions one way or the other.

I see that Will Norris asked a similar question shortly after my first email:

[[
 - how would folks recommend representing a short textual creative work like
a twitter post?  CreativeWork doesn't seem to have a place to put the body
of the post, so would that then require the use of Article (so you can use
articleBody)?  I guess for something like a tweet, you could potentially
put the full message into the description of a generic CreativeWork, but
that doesn't seem to work as well for longer posts like Google+ supports.
 By the way, is there a general rule of thumb that folks are using for the
maximum length  a description value should be.
]]

Should I go ahead and document in a slightly more formalized way what
I described below to represent micro-blogging messages? Or do you
believe that the problem is already solved using existing classes?

Thanks,
Francois.
