Because that I know of there is no current way to

like to see an automerge feature sometime in the future, where a
proposed merge is displayed. It would solve a lot of problems, even
for a very conservative algorithm that only suggests a merge when the
edits are done to different sections. It still would only have to load
the specific section again to make the changes. I don't know how hard
this would be though, but it doesn't sound too hard to me.
Conflicts are already merged automatically where possible - a more
advanced system of working out how to merge (possibly involving asking
the user to check it) would be great, but the very conservative
algorithm you suggest does already exist.

Hm, I could have sworn I've been in such edit conflicts on ANI. If it
happens again, should I file a bugreport on that?
