Well, I don't see this blocking behaviour working with MediaWiki sandbox... I don't know why! In any case, MediaWiki is not the case here! Just summing up: 1. Simultaneous edition is possible, but not advisable with the current XWiki release. 2. Locking is done at document level. 3. A true real-time edition editor for XWiki is on its way and will solve all these issues! It will be great if some developer or more skilled user could review this statements to confirm/deny/complete them!
