Title: Pull requests are the new comments

A few weeks ago I tweeted at you to say that pull requests were the new comments so here's me making good on that :)

First of all, thanks for thinking through a great breakdown of the issues and side effects involved with inline editing. This is a conversation that the Drupal community needs to have. I'm making this pull request because I think it'd be appropriate to mention how Drupal has handled this before. Views and Panels are two high profile examples of very leaky abstractions.

The Palantir.net offices constantly discusses how the site builder often must know what is happening behind the abstraction those tools to be efficient. Just last weekend I gave a presentation at DrupalCamp Ohio about how to get through the CTools/Panels abstractions to what the code is really doing. http://stevector.github.com/ctools_plugins_presentation

BTW, I completely understand if you want to let this pull request go and publish as is. It's a great post. Perhaps it's time I just set up my own blog for these thoughts!
