This has some limitations. For example, it wouldn't allow selectively deleting all messages with a specific contact, which is occasionally requested. Such an operation would leave holes in the archive (which XEP-0313 forbids to ensure sync points don't get removed). But I'm in favour of solving what we easily can for now.

I think that’s not hard to solve (protocol-wise) with tombstoning in the archive, either.

LGTM. /K
