Yeah, nice to see this update :-). Lots of good ideas here.
My biggest suggestion: we should definitely prioritize having on-page Edit, History, and Discussion in the fixed toolbar too, if we can. As I am scrolling through an article, these are probably more important to have in-context access to than the user-related items (with the exception of notifications). This would also have the advantage of potentially letting us remove the section edit links, and just carry one prominent edit link in the toolbar, where ever you are on a page.
Agree that a fixed Edit link might be nice, History/Discussion seems a bit overkill to me. If we have a fixed header, IMO we can use that exact same header area for the edit tools, and have a nice transition between the two. Brandon, I _think_ that's what you have in mind already, but I could be wrong. In a perfect VisualEditor tomorrow, we should be able to swipe in and out of edit mode without reloading. ;-)
I keep forgetting what the purpose of the gray square and the speech bubbles next to the username is -- would be nice to have some examples, or mouseover hints.
