Tim,I think I see what you are getting at.
Rather than using TARGET="_new" to create a new edit window, you could use JavaScript to create the new edit window and then to close this window when editing is finished - explicitly targeting the original content frame for the updated page to appear in.
This would mean that you then only be left with the new version on screen, whilst as a JavaScript user you can view the page during editing.
noscript tags could be used to provide people who don't want to use JavaScript with the current functionality.
Does this help?
