I like buttons for save, preview and cancel on top as well as below
the edit textarea.
See http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Test/EditForm4

If there will be a PageEditForm where on can shuffle the markup
around, it should not be a problem.

But I really would like the width of the textarea to be 100% of the
page, and not a fixed character width.
