This gets weird. With a fixed, single edit
link, the question becomes:
am I editing the whole page, or just the section I’m with?
Yeah, I agree - for a prototype that could be built into a Beta
Feature in the near future, this could potentially be confusing.
In the longer term (2015ish) my hope is that we can achieve
near-instantaneous switching between view and edit mode by delivering
VE-ready HTML5 by default. With near-instantaneous switching, it may
not be as important to have the context of a specific section, and
more important to try to position the cursor where the user is most
likely to want it when switching into edit mode.
But we can play with that idea at a future time, for sure.
