Exactly. Use a fancy expressive structure if you want, but don't try to abstract away the mapping between that and the general-purpose code that it relies on. "Each domain has its own rules"? How would I even know where to look for those?

Surprised to see no discussion of other data structures like dicts/maps, or arrays of arbitrary type. Hopefully they'd be a straightforward extension. IME, apps need collaborative data structures more often than they need pure collaborative text editing.

The motivating examples (update validation, partial loading, higher-level operations) are interesting, but I don't see a strong case that the reason Yjs etc. lack these features is the underlying CRDT implementation, as opposed to these features being intrinsically difficult to build.
