I'm not sure I understand the question but from what I get out of it, I suppose full sentences with actual punctuation, etc. wouldn't be proper since text messaging is all about getting straight to the point. This is understandable, at least to me, since a lot of my texting is done while doing something else and I want to communicate but make sure I can say what I want very quickly.
I don't think propriety can be judged on a universal level because everyone is different. Just as I think cutting out letters and replacing them with numbers is okay to put in a text message, the person reading this might not think so. Things like this all boil down to the person receiving the message. It only matters if someone gets put off by something and most likely the person sending the message isn't thinking "Gosh, I hate butchering the English language and getting my 15 word sentence across in just 7." That's a bit exaggerated but the idea is clear that people sending a message, be in through text, don't really think of its appropriateness until someone has brought it to their attention.
