Is Inline Edit beta ready?

[Eli Cochran]

I've made a minor change which *fixes* both these problems. OK, well  
not completely but it makes it better. All I really did was change the  
tag for the editable element from an h4 to a span. An h4 is a block  
element which by definition is width: 100%.

I changed the styling ever so slightly adding a faint border  
to .invitation.
