Legal significance too ! I lunch frequently with patent examiners at the European Patent Office (no, i'm not in that line of work, they're just friends nearby for lunch ), but some there periodically ask me if I know of _written_ (ie not mere email archive) proof of prior art/publication, in certain technologies ... so if we're doing anything new & innovative, we should publish it to stop some grasping shark grabbing the idea, & then trying to screw us or the world for royalties in years to come ...
