It's a pretty broad question to cover in a simple answer, and while you reference Prototype, you don't seem to need direct help with the library itself, but are looking for guidance to your usage in a large- scale application.
The first potential down side i see is, what happens once the user gets 10 sections loaded up in edit mode, and the browser crashes? i mean, such things have been rumored to happen, so do you have a caching/recovery system? Are you allowing all sections to be edited simultaneously? Because that seems like a lot of memory consumption to provide a multi-tasking feature that i think few people could use effectively. One section edited at a time would suit most people (especially if it's a "static" content page the user is building), which would then mean you only need one instance of the editing methods to pass around to whichever section is currently in edit mode (and potentially eliminate the "ugly" numeric method naming). Just a couple thoughts. Take from them what you will. -joe t.
