Sounds really pragmatic. Two people editing exactly the same thing at the same time sounds confusing; not just really hard to implement. i.e. Why would anyone want someone amending as they type. This approach makes the user experience simpler and simplifies the implementation. I like it :). The only scenario where I can see this being a bad decision would be for bots. For example, if you had a spell checker loaded which ran as a separate user rather than under your own session; so the spell checker couldn't auto-correct words until you'd finished typing the sentence. Here I'm imagining something like Rosie the translator bot from the original Google Wave demo... But I don't think you have bots anyway, so this won't be a concern for the present anyway.
