[Chandler-dev] In and Out collections

[Brian Kirsch]

The issue is (pje correct me if I am wrong) that the observer would be 
on a list such as toAddress.

The toAddress like ccAddress is a schema.Sequence of EmailAddress 
objects. The value that needs to be observed is the emailAddress 
schema.Text attribute of an EmailAddress Kind.

So an observer on the toAddress list would need to both detect when a 
EmailAddress is added to or removed from the list as well as when the 
value of a EmailAddress.emailAddress in the list changes.

This as I understand it is beyond the scope of the current 
schema.observer API.
