For what it is worth, we've considered it, and haven't yet ruled it
out, as a Guild Leader tool at least.  You're correct that the
interface issues are significant, at least for recieving messages
(since they all insist that messages be viewed in their client).
*Sending* a message, however, is a simple matter of making an HTTP
call.
