Maybe It's a Bit Too Early to Classify this as a "Not such a good idea"

Apparently the FCC is now considering supporting 911 access via text message.  Okay, I'm thinking that this is probably  not a good idea.  Umm, if someone has a cellphone, then frigging dial 9-1-1, don't take a chance with emergency services via text message!  Aside from the fact that you just never know if your recipient received the message, I can see an exchange of text message:

Joe:  hey
9-1-1:  hey waddup
Joe:  idk, some1 crshed nto me
9-1-1:  r u ok?
Joe: atm
9-1-1: u need mbulanc?
Joe: pls
9-1-1: where r u?
Joe: 401 & 400
9-1-1: e or w?
Joe: w
9-1-1: k - hang tight - omw
Joe: gr8, ty
9-1-1: yw, np, cya
Joe: cu
