Errr, no thanks. That's the mess I aready have in MS Word *duck*.

And it has proven to be completely unusable for the task of efficiently
editing complex structured documents in parallel by several authors.
 
Subversion has been around for ages for software development, why has noone
plugged it into a document processing application yet, although the basic
requirements are the same?

Probably because the "MS way of doing things" has occupied such a mindshare
not only in the brains of users and buyers, but also of FOSS developers for
such a long time now that nobody can think in different ways any more. X-(
