Seems like a shoe in for an editor with git as a backend, and cute, inline diff visualization. Seems not terribly difficult to get an MVP out?

Sounds like you just described https://draftin.com/

I've run into this problem before, in a different field:

Everybody uses Word. Unless you can get your "inline diff visualization" to support Word documents, it's not going to work.

That would probably makes things more difficult to MVP, but it seems doable to create a plugin for Word that's kind of pretty, and handles edits, editors, drafts, etc through git (maybe even distributed, although local would work fine).
