When I coded section editing, I tried different ways
to present the
link; it was very hard to find something which works even with complex
table layouts. I would actually prefer a small icon to the "[edit]"
text (it could still have "[edit]" as an ALT attribute), but that has
the problem of not working well with different heading sizes.
Would it be possible to (perhaps as an option) allow a tiny icon at
the end of each section which lets you edit it?
Regarding the scroll-up problem, one way to deal with
it at least for
advanced users would be to offer double-click editing on the section
level. You could then click anywhere within a section to edit it.
Personally I've never found the double-click option at all intuitive
or useful. I've only ever invoked it by accident. If there was a way
of adding an entry to the right click menu, that would be better.
