 1. Make sure to have a big network lag, 5+ seconds both ways
 2. Let person S share a document with "123456789" in it
 3. Let person C join it

 Then do the steps 4-8 below **within** the time of the network latency:

 4. Person C adds 'i' after the '4'
 5. Person C adds 'abcdefgh' before the '1'
 6. Person S adds 'X' after the '9'
 7. Person S adds 'Y' before the '1'

    Observe that the changes from point 5 and 7 will collide

 8. Person S adds 'Z' after the 'X'

 => document are out of sync now due to a bug in the AbiCollab collision
 detection routines

 Since this is a key feature of Write, this should be a blocker in my
 opinion. I'm working on a fix.
