A letter comprising the blinking cursor sounds like it could be distracting. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea; self-documenting UI components are intuitive and useful (assuming well thought-out, as this seems to be) however you're messing with something very fundamental. Is this UI mode optional?

I think a demo or test drive when the betas are ready would be essential to decide how intuitive vs. distracting this is. I look forward to driving this and hope it is as useful as it sounds.

This is another good example of how newRPL extends RPL without breaking the essence of what RPL is. Nice proposal.
