Yup, and that's the whole idea.  *If* you modify the content of the
page, you can't really avoid possible conflicts, which I understood to
be your requirement.

Locking doesn't help either, because in your model there is no "start
of edit", which would lock the page.

So the real solution would be a true collaborative editor, in which
all changes to a page would be reflected to everyone currently viewing
the page.  This is not impossible, though a lot of work :-)
