This could be nice for remote pair programming without having to do screen sharing.

For instance, the person on the non-typing end could see the edit stream over their iPad.

And that's exactly what I'm working on right now. It won't quite be an etherpad because doing constant diff is not a trivial thing... but bi-directional "live" editing session over the web will be possible.

I am a couple of weeks away from having something.

There are session sharing packages for emacs, like rudel - http://emacswiki.org/emacs/Rudel

However, on machines that are emacsless (at least, without having to ssh somewhere), yeah, this could definitely be nice.
