"Every keystroke is sent over the TCP connection. This is why you might notice lag in your typing."

Isn't that an opportunity to predict what someone is typing?

On the server side you could make predictions. However client A would not be able to see client B's keystrokes.

Its sort of like using Javascript to submit an HTML input field on every key press (AJAX).
