Extension:UniversalEditButton

The Universal Edit Button is a green pencil icon in the address bar that indicates a web page is editable. It is similar to the orange "broadcast" RSS icon that indicates there is an RSS feed available.

What is it?
It allows people to more quickly recognise when a site may be edited. It may serve as an incentive to encourage companies and site developers to add publicly-editable components to their sites. The universal edit button is made visible to people browsing the web by a two step process:


 * 1)  Website announces the availability of an edit page using the html tag.
 * 2)  Web browsers notice this tag and present an edit button in their location field
