Cool idea! :-)

With Erlang in the background, the network connection part is easy. The
principal issue would then be defining the communication protocol in order to
preserve a consistent view over the document.

I'd love to help, but I promised myself to spare the holidays for one of my
projects (at least as cool as this one :-) that sat in the pipeline for a year
or so... But if it's going to be a public discussion, then I could participate
with my 2 cents' worth of input.
