Thanks, I've done that and got it saving some editable areas! I have to
use preg_match() to chop off the containing "div" and parse out my
"id" tag:

$content = trim(file_get_contents('php://input'));
// id tags can only have alphanumerics and underscores
if (preg_match(":^<div id=\"([A-Za-z0-9_]+)\":", $content, $matches)) {
         $tag = $matches[1];
         // remove opening and closing div tags
         $content = preg_replace(":^<div [^>]+>\n:", "", $content);
         $content = preg_replace(":</div>$:", "", $content);
         set_editable_content($tag, $content);
}

The docs talk about an automatic MozileID which can be used - but again
this is probably older stuff now ? Anyway I'm happy with what I've got
for now.

One more thing - is the table editing feature likely to be ported
into the 0.7 release anytime ?

Sorry, you are correct! They are just very long lines, like the source 
has been run through a whitespace removing program or something.

Well, since you ask!:

When you visit a "mozile" page, and then try to leave it, mozile always
pops up a dialog box saying the page has unsaved changes, even if you 
haven't clicked into the editable area.

Thanks for the help and pointers!
