Sound exciting :-) I'm eager to learn more about this one.

Btw, you might want to talk about it with JV since he worked on ideas to
merge the inline + edit mode. I guess what you have in mind is an AJAXy
edit-in-place where one or multiple editors show up instead of the textarea
+ input fields on a given page while the panels stay where they are... If we
have a default template it would work with objects too.

Wonder what happens to XClass edition and used yet not-exposed XObject
properties in such a scenario though... Food for thought for later I guess.

Yes, this means that the rights edit mode will be removed from the Edit
> menu and the edit mode panel.
