Much of this list consists of things which the OpenMicroBlogging spec
handles pretty well. This is why I'm looking forward to SWXG's talk from
Evan Prodromou, whenever that happens.

Longer term, I hope SWXG leads to a W3C effort (a Working Group perhaps)
to develop a decentralised social networking protocol - hopefully going
beyond just 140 character messages though, and instead allowing content
in a wide variety of media types - perhaps using OMB as a jumping off
point, and certainly using it as input to the process, along with
efforts like Atompub and Linked Data.
