An interesting skim, but it would have been more meaningful if it had tackled text documents or spreadsheets to show what additional functionality would be enabled with those beyond "versioning".

Maybe it's just me, but I see the presentation functionality as one of the less used aspects of the OpenOffice family.

While reading I was musing one way to handle text could be to use a linked list format as storage? To make it work like that, you’d need the editor to work on a block concept and I don’t think document editors work like that?

Spreadsheets might be a little easier because you can separate out by sheet or even down to a row/column level?

Part of me wants to try it now…
