Possible operational transformation implementation help #17

While reading around on HackerNews I came across http://ot.substance.io/visualization/, which is an interactive visualisation of what the OT protocol - in theory at least - would send around. I'm guessing that once we get to the implementation of the CollaborativeString this might be useful to get some insight into what messages we could expect.

This is of course under the assumption that Google's implementation is similar to the documented version on Wikipedia.
