I can't summon a convincing example right now, but say all students were encouraged to publish a blog on Blogger. You might want to be able to snapshot an article and comment on it for teaching purposes, with those comments (and maybe even grades) being available to Sakai later. I suspect that if we design with this potential situation in mind we will create a more powerful and flexible solution.
