This is a classic "edit in place" pattern. Could be useful also when we are editing the page's name, content, etc. The problem is that this pattern isn't widely adopted inside XWiki's implementation.

There is no "standard" format when I make mockups - it's all a matter of the complexity/time degree of the proposal and also the probability that someone else will want to modify them (this probability slightly increased in the past time). > All of this does not really makes it easy open source UX collaboration.

The thing with sharing HTML/CSS is that when you make mockups with this technologies, you don't necessarily clean them - since you are experimenting a lot.
