(2004-04-30) Nodes Copied Everywhere

Weird thought Of The Day: if you represent structured data as tuples, and break up documents into trees of nodes (OutLining, Node Web), and discuss the contents of those nodes (Annotation Systems) and keep copies of history for Version Control, and want your own local copy of everything for Off-Line use and local processing, then do you really need to "share" anything? Will there really be a group of people editing a Wiki page together, or will they be negotiating the "definitive" structured-collection-of-nodes across a distributed TupleSpace? (ok, back away from the pipe...)
