> Heiko: "-0.5 (too clumsy for my taste)"

Agree, but it seems to work. (+0,5 from me!)

> Heiko "Wouldn't Tools > Options be sufficient in those cases?"

Hmm, it would not be an option that you keep on because you prefer it, there is
some back and forth it seems. 

> Mike: [highlight being debug functionality, too]

I agree. Actually highlight is a great example for an less obstrusive indicator
for a mode-of-displaying-the-document. 

> Heiko: "Do you have some kind of tooltip in mind"

No, I actually meant something like a non-modal, small bar or the like? I
attach a mockup (not saying its great, but have a look)

Actually, I like the idea of showing the ID in the tooltip as it offers a
modeless way of debugging. It would not solve the problem that some fields are
very small and hard to hit (Though I do not know how frequent that is). If we
decide to do that, we might want to check what useful lables would be;
Currently, for bookmarks is shows the bookmark name; for headlines the headline
content etc. without indication of the type of reference (or the ID in the case
of an headline)
