Yea, the constrained choice is a leftover.  We originally thought  
there would be a type of inline edit component that covered cases  
where the user was making edits from a constrained list of choices.   
So it's different from simple text in that it is a dropdown or radio  
buttons or checkbox or other.  Chatting with Erin and Allison this  
morning we decided that each of those types of interactions should  
probably be looked at individually and each would be child in the  
inline edit component family.  So far we've only worked on the  
dropdown case so that's all you see in the storyboard.  Until we  
uncover a specific implementation of checkboxes or radio buttons we  
probably won't flesh out that design.

Yea, not very well written :).  Sorry about that.  I think what I  
meant here was that jumping off the simple text edit case.  Now we  
want to work through what it means for the inline edit field to have  
these different kinds of controls.  I'll take a looks and try to clean  
the text up.
