I like the idea at least "in general". It would be good to discourage the casual editing of already-posted nodes. I fairly often navigate (to a parent node, to a domain where I don't have a cookie, etc.) just to get rid of the edit box because it gets in my way when reading.
Note that we should also mitigate duplicate posting, however. When we have previously had node types with an "edit" link and no textbox, those node types had a higher rate of people not noticing the "edit" link and eventually figuring out that the brower's "Back" button made an textbox appear.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
