There was already a change after the user study. The

placed in the same line as the heading of the next section, but before
it. This was indeed very confusing.
Today, the edit link is in the same line, and I think there's no need to
change that.
Well, it's true that my CSS fiddling did move down the edit link
slightly, but frankly, I doubt it's enough. Think about it: there's a
clear line *under* the link. If you look at it, it looks like it
belongs to the section above, separated from the one below by a
horizontal rule.
We could all ask our wiki-ignorant friends what they think. That's
about what a usability study consists of, after all, just a little
more thorough. :)

As long as you implement it in a way that still allows
the edit link to
appear just to the right of the heading (the "German Wikipedia way"), no
objections here. Ideally, this would be configurable so that each project
and each user can set up their own defaults.
There should be no change at all in how the German Wikipedia way works
either way we go, although I'll check that out firsthand before
instituting changes. Those using the current default can preserve it
with a one-line addition to MediaWiki:Common.css, and likewise for
individual users.
