No, that would be cool. I was kind of hoping someone would do that actually. You know how on various sites, you click a "reply" button, and an edit box just appears without redrawing the entire screen? That's how Mediawiki should work when you click "edit" on a section. You know how in Gmail, you can click "compose" and the compose screen comes up instantly? That's how Mediawiki should work when you click "history" on a page.
Of course, a fall back method, such as that proposed by Gmail is only right and fitting. But AJAX would kick arse.
