If an article is protected or semi-protected and I decide I want to edit it, I log in. However, I still cannot edit unless I manually refresh that page; only then does the protected edit pencil become a regular one.
Likewise, if I log out and then return to a semi-protected article, the pencil still allows me to open the page and attempt an edit. Only upon trying to save do I get a message that I lack the rights to edit it.

Yeah, currently the 'editable' status (which is user- and page-specific) gets stashed directly in the Article entry in the local database, and we assume that login status doesn't change very often.
Will have to think about better ways to handle that, or at least trigger an auto-refresh after login/logout...

For both - logged and non-logged user editing a page does not require to reload it.
