+ Mapping of 3PIDs to Matrix IDs
The end goal of Matrix is to be a ubiquitous messaging layer for synchronising
arbitrary data between sets of people, devices and services - be that for instant
messages, VoIP call setups, or any other objects that need to be reliably and
persistently pushed from A to B in an interoperable and federated manner.

Redactions
----------
Since events are extensible it is possible for malicious users and/or servers to add
keys that are, for example offensive or illegal. Since some events cannot be simply
deleted, e.g. membership events, we instead 'redact' events. This involves removing
all keys from an event that are not required by the protocol. This stripped down
event is thereafter returned anytime a client or remote server requests it.

Events can be redacted by either room or server admins. Redacting an event means that
all keys not required by the protocol are stripped off, allowing admins to remove
