I've been doing some tinkering in this area lately, and I was also looking for an explanation of the string editing mechanics in this algorithm.

The hardest part there is retaining the intent of the simultaneous edits -- the I in the "PCI Consistency model" as described by the WOOT paper. Previous algorithms (LSEQ, WOOT, Doctree, Logoot, etc.) devoted to simultaneous conflict-free editing of text have solved this through relatively complex key generation strategies. I've only done a cursory read of this paper, but this algorithm doesn't seem to implement an alternative solution.
