Actually, we already know the code Google would use for such a design. Even
better, it's open source: http://incubator.apache.org/wave/about.html . You
can read the link for more details, but essentially Google Wave was an
application for people to collaborate on documents simultaneously (as in
your example). It ended up getting shuttered, then open-sourced, and now
it's an Apache product.

Wave uses a NoSQL store as a backend, so the closest equivalent would be
the Datastore.
