The hover effect is easy to drop - if we are all willing to take the hit on the clutter.
I don't like the use of hover in this place. I don't think, that an
essential element for user interaction should be hidden from the user.
If I were an experienced user I would expect the old behavior when I click
on "edit", instead of this another link popps up that sais "edit source"
and disturbs me.
My solution would be moving the [ edit | edit source ] thingy to the
right. That would reduce the clutter in the headings.
