Oh yes.  I think the protocol is probably powerful enough to support
different app types.  I'm pretty sure that google docs will eventually
be a wave app.  Maybe even gmail too (under the hood) - I actually
want my wave account and gmail account linked, so that I can
collaborate in wave on something and then press a button to send it
out into the non-wave enabled world via email.
