I think that would be very helpful indeed.

This being Wikipedia, we need to think about when someone
well-meaningly takes this new process way, way too far. And how to
mitigate that ahead of time. But, yeah, this is what appeals to me
about it.
James, this sort of thing will make experienced editors clamour for VE
;-) You should be able to do this with the present talk pages -
annotate VE pages with a link to the discussion.
Eh. I'm not particularly interested in building features that only work in
VE and not wikitext, and particularly not in ones that would require
changing both the wikitext used to write talk pages for the benefit of VE
users and disrupting wikitext. We can, and we must, do better than that.
(But yes, I imagine the additional ease of VE here would be significant.)
