Inline editing (AJAX) use cases and examples

[Mara Hancock]

I would add that it is best when there is less of a transition between  
presentation/viewing and editing desired. If I use Flickr as an  
example, when I see a typo in my images description when viewing a  
set, I don't want to hop out to another form in order to make the  
change but I also don't want to be staring at a bunch of form fields  
when I am in presentation mode.
