De-clutter Your Interface With Hover Controls

I like the idea of edit controls being extremely faint and low-contrast, to spring up on hover. That way, there's hints that there's functionality hiding there and does not interrupt the eye as it travels through the interface.<p>Otherwise, users who don't track their eye movement with their mouse might not find editing controls.

This technique would render your site unusable in mobile browsers, where it is unintuitive or impossible to hover a cursor.

ie6 doesn't support hover on anything other than anchors

Yay! Mystery meat! :-|
