Using room specific account data could remove a layer of mapping in this.

I'll look into that, thank you! :)

Account data would have been my first guess for implementing this feature, but you'd need to figure out some encryption scheme to avoid leaking data to the server.

Implementation requirements:
- Client recognizing and using the feature
oversight where I took a local copy and wordwrapped it when I already had changes done remotely 🤦
Added a section about drafting media (`m.image` in this example) and also how you could draft a whole event. This could be useful for polls, custom events, or drafting messages with other MSCs.

| of an edit the draft would no longer be associated with a room, causing | ||
| confusion on the users' end as to where their draft went. | ||

Another issue is that converting to and from a user's input to a Matrix message can be lossy. For example, if a user starts writing a message on a client that uses Markdown, and resumes editing later on a different client that uses a different input format, some formatting may get lost.

I think that shouldn't be too much of a problem considering the plaintext should (in theory) be stored in the body, alongside a pre-formatted version in the formatted_body
The client is expected to import the body, although maybe I should make that more explicit in the document
(or, alternatively to the body, if available the m.draft_full_event if it's something like a poll or other more complex event, but I have not gotten much feedback on that yet)

This MSC proposes a way to share message drafts between clients, to edit and/or send them on clients they weren't initially written in.
