Section Info based inline edit sample

[Daphne Ogle]

Looks good Eli!  Nice work!

A couple of things:

-  Until we come up with a meaningful icon I vote for using text to  
make it clear what the user can do.  The addition of undo adds some  
challenge for the user to not only figure out what one icon does but  
what 2 siimilar only mirrored icons do.  Because of their similarity  
its also more difficult to distinguish between them and when they  
change.

-  Just an FYI for everyone -- there is still a debate about the  
usefulness and need for redo in the simple text field edit context  
here.  We are hoping user testing will help us better understand the  
tradeoffs of adding the complexity versus how often redo is actually  
needed.
