Re: [w3c/editing] undo manager (#209)

Let me try again:
In collaborative editing you will have a shifting number of undoable items. It can be 5 at one time, then 2 then again 5 without the local user having done anything in-between all just because of actions of remote users. Are you saying that you will be adding and removing items from the local undo stack to get the number to be right at all times? So for example to go from 5 to 2, you just add three more items to the stack?

If additionally you don't use the label and I assume the number of items doesn't show up in the UI - wouldn't it be enough to make sure to always just keep one or zero items on the undo/redo stacks to enable and disable those buttons? Why would you want/need to keep 2 or 5 or 10 items on the stack?

I would agree that this would work - but it's kind of a hack and labeling all edits just "Editing" is probably not what they had in mind when they added the label.
