It might not be very hard to implement editing the fancy diary display
using an approach similar to that of Rmail Edit mode, which detects
the changes made in the display buffer and copies them into the real
home of the text. This would avoid the need for new basic mechanisms.
The hardest issue I see is when to perform that updating.
In Rmail Edit mode, that's simple: you do it when the user exits
edit mode. If the fancy diary display is always writable, people
could edit it and move away from it and be surprised that their
changes were lost.
