+Discussions -> Collaborative Documents
+--------------------------------------
+
+discussions presents a strict hierachal document that can only append
+leaf nodes.  Collaborative documents (e.g. a wiki) may also be
+hierachal, but additional functionality is implied:
+
+ * the ability to edit nodes
+ * the ability to merge nodes
+ * the keeping of history (including all implied functionality of an VCS)
