Seems to me though that adding editing to the equation would make it a confusing cross breed of a document editor and ... well, a wall/light forum (a.k.a the sad story of google wave). Facebook's solution of making wall posts immutable but deletable (and thus repostable) seems to simplify the concept a lot. It makes it clear to others than the author that a really necessary change was made - I perceive the usage scenario of a wall post as not "creating a [more or less official] document that needs to be error free" but a free form of quick communication, closely related to micro blogging. Adding approval functionality takes the concept closer to blog comments or even legacy guestbooks - I guess it might be required in a setting where teachers want to control things, but still makes me wonder...
