thanks! there seems to be many use cases of making html forms / form fields collaborative. to name a few:

- forms where you fill in the form but need expert advice for some fields. I'm thinking medical or legal or similar. With a collaborative form you could share the state of your form with them and they can look it over. Current workaround is to do a screen share with them so they can look at what you have.

- gathering information from groups of people, eg rental applications, YC application

- multi-step forms where you have different people do each step and need to coordinate when someone finishes their portion and who should go next.

for data language-level replication it seems like over enough time CRDTs would add a decent overhead, but I assume you could use CRDTs just for replicating and once you knew replication was complete you could convert the CRDT data struct into the simple underlying type?
