I'm wondering how often users will actually be able to 'see' these

received via Email.
So to sum up the requirements I have here:
+ Everyone sharing sees the same byline value
+ Byline value doesn't change if there are conflicts and the
conflicting changes haven't actually been applied
Hmm, these two above requirements seem to be in conflict with each
other. I'm not sure I understand how everyone can see the same
byline if different people resolve the conflicts differently.
Yes, that's true, if everyone resolves a conflict differently, they
they will all see different bylines until the conflict gets resolved
by a single person. (This everyone resolves a conflict differently
will occur only in the following instances...
+ Edit/Update via email
+ A single item is shared in 2 different collections with 2 different
sets of people.
If an item is shared in only 1 collection and no edit/update is
happening, it shouldn't be possible to have multiple people resolving
conflicts, correct?
However, all things being equal :o), as in aside from this 'different
people resolving conflicts differently' everyone should see the same
byline, because we use the same logic to calculate which editor wins.
