I don't see a problem with having skins optimised for reading and editing.
I do see a probelm with making the former the default,
although even that doesn't seem to me to be isurmountable.
What /would/ be a terrible violation is the make the default skin
a skin in which there is no "'''Edit this page'''" link at all --
but I don't think that Erik is proposing that for /any/ skin.
