If I recall correctly, Blizzard said something about a feature, which lets you work on a map with your friends simultaneously. Is that true or was I just dreaming?

Yes. Already doing so on a project.

Basically, all data editor information is stored in XML files in the map. Meaning that using an mpq editor, you can have one person working on terrain, another on data, then easily combine both into one map.

I think the multiple users working on a single map/level is really only useful to professionals on the same network (demonstrated on the hero engine). But im not opposed to Blizzard putting in time and resources developing this feature.
