It would complicate matters somewhat, since the nndraft backend blanks 
out readedness marks and stuff, as well as looks for autosave files.
One main point of the drafts group is autosave crash recovery, and to
do that, we have to use the Emacs autosave facility, which rules
exotic features like storing drafts on an IMAP server, for instance.
