The section parameter of the side "edit" links counts only sections where the header is visible on the TOC (headers formatted with "==", "===", etc.) Thus, the "edit" link after the section headed "Keeping headings out of the Table of Contents" edits the wrong area, as that section contains a header that is not on the TOC (formatted with "<h2>", "<h3>", etc.)
To be honest, I'd say that the "trick" being used to keep these headers out of the ToC is itself a bug, and that a heading should be a heading and no cheating by using a different kind of markup. However, there does seem to be a long-standing problem with the section edit code, where the code which inserts "[edit]" links is divorced from the code which counts the sections for "§ion=X" edits. (See also, for example, bug 904, which appears to have been fixed). Without looking at the code, I'd guess this is because "section counting" isn't done while parsing, but adding the "[edit]" links is; I wonder if there's some way the counting *could* be done in the "proper" parser, or made more structurally similar.

There's a space added before the closing bracket during processing of </h1> HTML tags. Changed the regexp in CVS HEAD to also match </h1 >. Some simple test cases have been solved by this. Article.php, rev 1.368
