The meta problem is trying to discuss specific examples of rules lawyering when the purpose of one CC is to eliminate detailed rules lawyering isn't going to philosophically work well.
None the less, for a corporate interpretation of the exact same topic but with respect to email:
Generally speaking identifying yourself as a legal representative of a project or community has all kinds of interesting legal problems; you don't want the project sued because some idle conversation between some contributor and a service provider was seen by the provider as a verbal contract between them and the project for their services.
Another example would be copyright, if the project owns the copyright to your self made pr0n example (because you posted it on the project wiki) then you're probably in huge trouble, but if everyone legally agrees you own the copyright and not the project, well, its kind of hard to argue you represent someone you're clearly not legally working for.
