I have posted a crude UI mock-up [1] of how I would envisage the edit links working. The icon (an 'e' in a circle) is just a crude example - in practice we would want something a lot nicer and non-language-specific. The blue highlighting in the mock-up indicates how we could highlight the section to be edited when the mouse moves over the link.

You could use icons, eg. http://es.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/amethyst/edit.png Section-highlighting seems a good idea, i'd use it on diffs too. However, you'd need to change the way sections are dealt, as it's an isolated title. Some esoteric wikicode may break too.
