This was my first idea. I assumed that "Typoscript object path" and "Content 
Elements" were the only Editing Types with a real function and that all 
other Editing Types were just implemented as preset TypoScript, but when I 
look at the XML code, I find this being not true.

So wouldn't it be nice to have a possibility to edit the TypoScript of the 
"other" Editing Types not only inside the XML?
