Node edit functionality would be nice to have!

I want to add 'node_factory_load_node( $nid)'.

My Use Case 'nagging clock' (was):
1 on entering an OG page a 'clock' node gets created.
2 a block shows the content of that node with a clock ticking
3 the user can spend some time doing other things but the (c)(b)lock is still ticking.
4 pressing the submit/stop button in the block saves the time spend.

Short implementation
1 cclink prepared links in a block listing 'my groups'.
2 block with a cclink and a clock
3 ...
4 block with a cclink would stop the clock (and hides the block)

Is this worth a try or use workflow_ng #229025: creating nodes through node_factory.module?
