Well, why should pages not support states? These two things seem rather 
orthogonal to me.

I know Marco wasn't overly happy with the separate view and edit states of the 
dive list, but /in my mind/ it makes complete sense. (Gratuitous opportunity 
to make the obvious "sebas, that's only in *your* head!" remarks. :))

That said, I'm not married to the setup, it can be made separate pages as 
well, but would have to sync all the properties back and forth then (which to 
some degree, it already does).
