Great, thanks for your comments.
I'd like to let everyone know that I am now editing a lot of the
Inline Edit pages using the consistent names (below) and placing them
in the tree-structure.
>>> 1. Simple Text Inline Edit
>>> 2. Link Inline Edit (different than simple text in that you can't
>>> click on the text itself because it will go to the actual link)
>>> 3. Hidden Content Inline Edit (editing content tied to the
>>> subject.. please see the announcement example)
>>> http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Inline+Edit+Storyboard+-+Edit+link+or+multiple+pieces+of+data+at+once+(edit+mode+required)
>>> 4. Rich Text Inline Edit (editing a large amount of text)
>>> 5. Date Picker Inline Edit
>>> 6. Dropdown Inline Edit (rather than Constrained Choices Inline
>>> Edit)
Please note I've changed #4 to Rich Text from Document, because
Document can include spreadsheets, etc. which we do not handle. I
think it would be clear if we named it Rich Text and placed it below
the Simple Text.
