"WARNING: Consideration of this document has been Deferred by the XMPP
Standards Foundation. Implementation of the protocol described herein is not
recommended."... so I don't intend to consider XEP-0058. It doesn't seem to be
the same thing requested for Skype anyway.

How does Skype actually represent these edits? The easiest thing I can think of
would be to have a key in every message header indicating the message ID
(message-token or the planned protocol-token), and a key in the replacement
message's header 'supersedes' (or something) indicating which message to
replace.

The idea of discarding the original message worries me, though: it seems as
though this basically provides a way to make message history untrustworthy. We
should probably specify that UIs should provide access to the old versions
until/unless explicitly deleted.
