Hmm, you're right about the Settings app. I guess I should verify such
things before blurting them out. I could have sworn I saw such an
implementation, but now I can't remember where.
While searching around for the above behavior, I did come across another
paradigm that you can consider. ADA-winning OmniFocus lets you edit
projects and contexts by entering edit mode via a UIBarButtonItem (as
you intended), followed by simply tapping the row. They use the
standard delete controls as well (which it sounds like may not be
applicable in your situation). Not sure how intuitive this approach is,
but it is one way people solve your problem.
My recommendation, since all of the approaches are easy to implement, is
just to create mock-ups with all three and hand them to different target
users and see which lets them figure out usage easiest. (Nothing beats
an experiment.)
