[TYPO3-core] RFC: Feature #7607: Add post processing hooks for Frontend Editing

[Ingmar Schlecht]

Hi Jeff,

This doesn't follow the principle of adding new hooks always as 
interfaces, but I'm tempted to say that this just makes life simpler for 
so small and detailed hooks. I would be fine if we'd only use interfaces 
for the bigger things like e.g. hooks for introducing new cObjects to 
tslib_content or the like.

+1 based on reading, *IF* you have tested this in action already.

cheers
Ingmar
