Universal Edit Button Patch

Description

The /UniversalEditButton is an emerging standard, similar to the RSS link that is available on certain websites and wikis (see also: /RssLinkInHeader). This allows browsers that support the standard to provide an "edit this page" link similar to the RSS icon.

A FireFox? extension for this exists.
