I'm asking about the dictionary definition of a content object, which  
I would be writing down in the documentation.

Perhaps somebody could currently get away with setting up a content  
object with no chat, but is this explicitly allowed, or something  
that we may break if we later feel like it?

Also, if it's the latter, we should probably break it now, by adding  
assertions to -init… and -setChat: (in addition to closely examining  
whether we need a -setChat: at all) so that it cannot be nil.
