You and I have previously discussed the idea that giving in and making an
editor skin and a reader skin might be unavoidable. This would likely be a
strong step in that direction.
Initial thoughts about the mock itself:
* the blue "edit" button flashing at a user during scroll won't be
acceptable
** the section highlighting is neat, but may have difficulty integrating
with VisualEditor
** moving the section links back over is probably more "cognitive load"
than users are willing to deal with
* many editors will hate requiring two clicks to access tools in both
drop-down menus (watchlist, links here, page info, etc.)
* "discussion, history, more" feels very in the way when inserted between
the page title and the page content
Broadly, I'm not sure the whole BetaFeatures approach makes a lot of sense
in cases like this. It seems like it would be difficult to get any
meaningful data when so many variables change simultaneously.
