Just a few off-the-cuff remarks:

I'm generally in favor of ____, but haven't decided on whether it should
be in the core or not.  Depends on what else it might impact.

Changing edit as described above is likely related to "edit section"
feature discussed in previous threads, and it may also end up being
related to an "add comments" feature, since they're all instances
of editing and/or replacing segments of an existing page.

Along with that, be careful with the ?p=n component--you have to be
sure to handle the case where someone else has added or removed ____'s
from the page while you're editing one of the chunks.  :-)
