Bingo!  It's clearly a broken approach.  Perhaps that's why its not
talked about in Google's OT whitepaper?

Yep, there is no correct solution using this approach.

Egad!  This is not an "academic corner case".  That's like calling
deadlock detection and transaction rollback an academic corner case
for a RDBMS.  It is so important that the OT functions be proven to be
correct in order to build the simplest OT system that can be relied
upon.  Reliability is more than a mere academic concern.
