for completion's sake:
pedit worked and then got broken at some point. The others, I believe
the review  missed the details unfortunately; those features are a
requirement but someone cutnpasted and missed something.

Note: The only reason we even found this is because some hardware
(nameless at this point) capable of offloading and sharing pedit
actions didnt work. Looking closely we found the other two.
