 > Very interesting. How does the document editor on Google do simultaneous
 editing?

 I was thinking the same thing - Google docs does multi user simultaneous
 editing VERY well. They have per-line locking, meaning that multiple users
 can edit the same doc @ the same time. I have played around with G'Docs
 before - trying to cause collisions and errors. The only time I remember
 being able to cause an error was by explicitly trying to edit the same
 line that I could see someone else was also editing. They handle that type
 of error by reverting your changes - and in real time - to minimize
 potential data loss.

 **In regards to implementing such a feature in WordPress** - It would
 require both the server / client architecture that we're discussing here,
 as well as a separate patch / plugin for TinyMCE. Anyone have experience
 with the text parsing / event architecture of the TinyMCE API? I've
 written several plugins for TinyMCE - but those are used to extend it -
 and are not involved with the innards of the editor like this type of
 plugin will be.
