[vos-d] Collaborative text editing

[Reed Hedges]

What if two people modify the same property at the same time? Currently one of
them get's clobbered, or if they are inserting instead of replacing, weird
things could happen.

Properties tend to be small portions of something, rather than being a "whole
document", but AbiWord has an experimental thing for collaborative editing on
whole documents and so have been working on similar issues, and their technique
might be useful to us too.

There are lots of ways to solve this though.
