Did you write more about the use case somewhere?
My thinkig is: the to: and cc: information would also
be like addressing hints on an envelope (to stay in this picture)
and there could be a usability downgrade if this infos goes into

One main concern I am thinking about is the grade and time frame
of backwards compatibility. One main email advantage is that it is based on

a long time.
