Yea.  I'm going to have a tough time educating my users already.

For me, utopia would be a small icon on the left side that says
"edit".  I need to dig out my photoshop and see if I can come up with
it.  The mouse over features are great but I think my users are not
going to mouse over text areas that are editable.  I need to mark them
somehow.  But, I'm using background colors as degrees of warnings or
errors.  So, that is already in use.

The other idea I had (have barf bag close at hand) is to put some text
in it but make it the same color as the background.  I'd do this in
the Javascript code.  And set the color back to normal when it goes
from blank to non-blank.
