Comment (by azaozz):

 Concurrent editing is not on the table, yet :)

 It cannot be done with a TinyMCE plugin. To be able to lock rows (or even
 paragraphs) TinyMCE would most likely have to move away from using
 contenteditable and do direct DOM manipulation so only the currently
 edited row (text node) will be "unlocked" and the rest will be a standard,
 non-editable HTML.

 As far as I know Google docs do XHR saves every second while the user is
 typing, and in addition do polling every 10-15 sec. We will be doing
 something similar but instead of saving to the server, we will be saving
 to the browser's local storage (see #23220).
