Maybe these two could be somehow mixed together? Seeing bugs we had
with inline edit, I'm afraid of adding yet another way for editing
data, what would mean three versions of code doing basically same thing.

I think rather than adding yet another editing mode, it would be more
useful to somehow consolidate what we have right now into shape that it
is usable in more situations. This should probably start with defining
how the data should be editable and which options it should provide
(eg. using MySQL functions and so on).
