I think the idea is great! Maybe not easy to implement, but it
feels like users could benefit a lot!

I have another idea! I got it from the CMS we use at work (not
technically as good as Typo3, but definitely better looking)
The BE should look/behave more like TemplaVoila:

1. When you want to work with a page, choose Web / Page / [page]
2. Now you choose what to do with the page by clicking on tabs:
   Content | Properties | Access | List | Version | ->
   View | Info | Template | etc

And accordingly, many submodules in the Web module could be
removed. We could also "clean up" the leftclick menu, Edit page
header, Visibility settings and Info could be removed from it.
And Move should be moved "up" from the More options... submenu.

All this give editors a more intuitive way of working and it
also gives us more space in the leftmost frame (for plugins?)
because the above modules should be removed from there.


My 2 cents!
