If anyone has checked out GoogleMaps MyMaps, you'll notice the slick way 
they allow you to add new vertices in geometries (by providing "ghost 
vertices" in the middle of each segment, which as soon as they are 
dragged become real vertices.

This might be nifty to have in OJ, but I think it would require a 
"Select-For-Editing" mode, which seems a bit cumbersome (I don't think 
you'd want ghost vertices on *every* selected feature, or even every 
editable selected feature, since this would add a lot of drawing time).

However, an alternative which should be easy to implement using current 
JUMP tools is to allow the Add Vertex tool to position the new vertex as 
well.  The behaviour would be that a vertex would be added on the mouse 
press, and a subsequent mouse drag would reposition the vertex (just 
like the current Move Vertex tool).

There it is, if some UI guru wants to take it on...
