Currently the Inspector is instantly editable, this seems risky.
Another approach might be to use a dedicated "edit" button and then enable the editing features. If editing is disabled, all attributes are read only.
I'm not sure which way might be good. But it seems a lot of tools that use display and edit in the same spot have this two mode way. 1Password does it this way, offers an easy "start editing" by double-clicking any entry.
Apple's Contracts uses the same way, by letting entries be viewable and one has to explicitly click "edit" and "done" when one wants to make changes.
This issue is obsolete since the current implementation of the history support allows for "instant editing"
This is requires something like #48
