Inline editing (AJAX) use cases and examples

[Jonathan Hung]

On Digg.com: After posting a comment, it is still editable for a duration
after posting.  (See attached images). In-line editing makes a lot of sense
on CMS's / Wikis where users need to make edits on-demand.

On a related note, Digg's new user creation process has excellent examples
of Tooltip and Multi-Step-Indicator.
