I'd go as far as saying most networked concurrent file access will ruin your life one way or another, because it's just a hard problem, and it's trying to solve it at a very odd layer; a "classic" fs can't really take advantage of higher layer transactional or other known constraints in order to make things work better…

Google Docs solved the problem at the right layer then.

No, Google Docs solved a different problem at the right layer. Their solution isn't transferable to other specific problems that may currently be approached using networked file systems, let alone the generic case.
