--- Comment #1 from Bartosz Dziewoński <matma....@gmail.com> ---
What you described is actually a non-trivial change to MediaWiki's parser. It's
particularly problematic because MediaWiki lets you do very silly things like
stuffing a heading inside a table cell, which completely destroys any attempts
to add container divs. This would have to be handled somehow, and I have yet to
see a good idea how (other than just not generating the containers in such
cases).

It's also definitely a good idea, and you're not the first person to ask for it
or experiment (one early installment of Brandon's Winter tech demo,
http://unicorn.wmflabs.org/winter/, has implemented something along these lines
in order to correlate the section edit links with the areas of the article that
they correspond to). I definitely hope it happens one day, but it might take a
while…
