Looks pretty cool! A couple quick notes:
The section edit + dropdown menu only appear on hover; this feels very odd
on a tablet as you have to actively tap to make it appear (on iPad) or it
may not work at all (on Windows 8.1). I like the idea of 'edit' being in
the fixed header that's consistently visible instead...
On small screens like phones I've been seriously considering suggesting we
show a fixed section header -- this sample article has relatively short
sections but many are ....lllloooonnnngggg.... especially in really big
articles. In a small window or on a smaller-screen tablet, those are going
to easily spill larger than a screen height and it may feel odd to scroll
up to find the current section-edit button.
Once you scroll past the menu items, the sidebar seems to be wasted space
especially on a small window. Any plans to have it collapse if the
window/screen size is smaller? Snapping a browser window to half the screen
is *really easy* to do on current Windows and Linux versions, and seems
like something I'd expect people doing research to do.

I’ve made some fairly significant changes to the Static Header/Nav
Mod prototype. You can play with it here:

Changes below. Note that most icons are placeholders.
=== New Changes ===
* Added "watch" button to button ribbon
* Shadow only appears on scrolling; disappears and turns to solid
border when not moving.
* Added icons to article action elements
* Turned "more" action into a single pulldown
* Edit buttons now have secondary pull down for additional actions
(edit source, insert image, etc.)
* Section edit link buttons are now standard "white" color until
hover, where they turn blue.
* Targeted sections now have a slight border in addition to light
color fill
* Removed border from Table of Contents
* Left aligned TOC header
* Search placeholder text is now replaced with article title on
scroll
* All menu items now have icons (placeholders, mostly)
=== Bugfixes ===
* Fixed issue with hoverstate on H2 sections and striping (set
background color to transparent rather than white)
* Fixed border radius issues with internal button ribbon
