If I understand correctly you want to load the same page 3 different
times, each in a different "mode" (i.e., edit, browse, source).  Then
you wish to be able to switch instantaneously between the modes by
clicking on a tab or a button or something and just toggling the
appropriate view into visible.  Is that correct?

If I've understood correctly I think you're going to have significant
difficulties with this.  The closest I've seen is blogit's AJAX
editing (which is *very* cute, btw).  But these actions are used in
too many contexts within pmwiki to be able to have the same page
loaded in 3 different modes, I think.  It is probably possible, but I
wouldn't want to underestimate the headache -- I think this would be a
fairly significant development project.
