Err... Shouldn't we need the common ancestor document too?

Let's suppose that a document {"name": "Bond", code: "007"}
is updated in parallel as {"name": "Bond"} (for security reasons)
and as {"name": "James Bond", code: "007"} (for civility reasons).

We need the ancestor document to know that his "code" was deleted and that 
"James Bond" is the right name.
