Can I ask how this is going to be implemented? I think there are some
definite benefits to using an existing, open, documented protocol
rather than trying to roll a custom one. This way FreeRIDE users can
interact with users of other editors in this regard.

I've had some experience with the Obby[1] collaboration protocol, and
I would definitely suggest it for this. It's very straightforward and
easy to implement, and it provides a great cross-editor, open
solution.
