Am I the only one who would rather treat correspondence between two people as a collaborative work? Consider: Each author is commenting on and responding to the work of the other. Neither author's work could exist in the form presented if not for the work of the other. What could be more collaborative?

And isn't that why there needs to be an access point for the person to whom a collection of letters is addressed, even though it does not include the letters of the addressee?
