I have to agree, the algorithm change struck me as totally superfluous. I understand the intention is to make it more intuitive, but in reality it doesn't accomplish much on that front as concurrent editing in the same location never turns out exactly as one expects (particularly once you start looking at things such as the effects of clock skew between editors and variable latency...) So I'm not sure it's worth the effort to implement this proposal, especially as it will require a rewrite and rollout of existing clients and servers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Wave Protocol" group.
