Basically what you're saying is "OK, let's impose an arbitrary total
ordering on the changes." Indeed that makes writing the collaborative
tool easier, but it also undermines collaboration by giving priority
to getting there *first* rather than doing it *better*.
With all due respect, I think that is a misunderstanding of the issue.
We are talking about editing conflicts on timescales of a few seconds.
If two people are trying to edit the same part of the text at the same
time, they are stepping on each other's feet. Which one does the
stepping "better" is hardly an issue.
