User 1 starts editing the page

User 2 starts editing the page.

User 1 saves their changes

User 2 saves their changes

User 2 changes don't get saved yet. Instead they get a message telling them about the contention but their text box still exists and they can still edit the content. The make a few edits incorporating the changes already on the page and then hit save.

User 2's changes squash any change that User 1 made (hope User 2 got all of them from User 1).

User 2 is not cursing Kwiki because it now lets them submit their changes instead of simply displaying an error message and clearing out 3 hours of work they just did because User 1 made a quick change while User 2 was editing the stupid file!
