I should clarify that the idea of supporting both OT and CRDG is a
long-term goal.  If it is basically feasible, our concern now should
be not to preclude doing it eventually.  For right now, that means we
should design collab-mode such that either method could be implemented.

I'm not suggesting we implement them both now.  For now, one method
working is enough.

My idea of supporting both methods was based on supposing that each
would be implemented in various other programs and we would want to
interoperate with all of them.  But if there aren't any other programs
to interoperate with, that goal is only a potential future goal.
There's no practical point in actually implementing the other method
unless/until there is something to interoperate with that way.
