Ooh, I am definitely talking about both.
I've implemented a rather barebones way of editing select fields of a
tiddler in view mode, in a wiki I use with other people in my work group.
The reason for needing such implementation being that someone in my group
doesn't want to interact with any other field other than the Text field,
and work-related ones.
I'm looking forward to testing your plugin, and seeing how it could be
applied to that specific work wiki :D
