Section Info based inline edit sample

[Eli Cochran]

Daphne,
I agree with you that there will probably be some confusion around  
Undo and Redo. I'm not sure I understand what you are suggesting.  
There is already a tooltip for Undo/Redo (at least there is in FF, I  
just used the title tag). Are you saying that you would also like a  
label next to or under the icon?

Let me know. I'll revisit this tomorrow.
