Hello. Section editing is one of the most frequently used features for example
in MediaWiki (Wikipedia), so yes, for long pages, it could be a great
enhancement to PmWiki. Unfortunately, simultanious edits is not an easy thing
to handle -- for example, if you edit a section, and in that time another
editor reorganizes the page (refactoring, permutation of sections). This is
complex, could go wrong on many places, and requires a lot of thinking and
work, so for the moment it is on our "some day" wish list. :-)

There is also the recipe EditAttributes -- it can handle page title,
description, and even predefined PageTextVariables in separate edit fields
(some configuration will be needed) :
