I don't know that I'd say bad taste (says the maintainer of a module that 
has "node" in its name... <g>), but it is limiting.  email_node.module ceases 
to be accurate as soon as you add the ability to forward a page built with 
views or panels or taxonomy or any of the other useful non-node displays. :-)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
