I'd love these nice little inline 'Edit' buttons to appear on my CCK fields as well as on the defaulty fields. Imagine how useful it would be in combination with something like CCK field permissions module ... ?

I would like to use ActiveEdit module to improve the UI for content-editors (by using content as context for task, rather than task as context for content ala Edit tab). Also (IMO) handy content-editing seems like a higher priority than allowing Admin to change sitewide stuff like site_name, footer, etc. from any node view ;)

... very exciting :)

Absolutely. I would very much welcome a patch.

Adding support for additional editing is relatively straightforward. It requires a new .inc file in the /modules directory of the activeedit module. Have a look at the existing .inc files, especially the function node_activeedit_elements() in node.inc. CCK support could be added I believe through a single file, content.inc, with a single function, content_activeedit_elements(). The trick is to identify the fields to be edited and their CSS selectors.
