Could we extend contentEditable in a way that would let the UA offer 
a non-scripting UI for "saving" the edited page? For example using 
the "form" attribute from WF2?

<form id="saveform" action="" method="put">
</form>

<div contentEditable="true" form="saveform">
    Edit me, then click save.
</div>

The UA could now offer a "Save" option that would submit the form 
with the edited data in its UI.
