This is an aspect of Inkboard that will be much improved upon in subsequent releases.
The current release does some checks and munges to manage conflicting changes, but it's hardly perfect, and definitely does allow documents to diverge.
The two next major steps for Inkboard, I think, are Win32/Mac OS X support and implementation of the Palimpsest data model (see http://cs-people.bu.edu/dgd/thesis/original_paper.html), which should give us a much cleaner, more flexible conflict management system.

Looks amazing. But I was wondering what happens when two people make conflicting changes.
