One final note:

Since "subsections" (as I refer to them below, meaning email, names, org 
ids, etc) can be visited from a number of different places directly, 
another approach we could take is to edit components from the 
co_people/edit page using a lightbox.

I've used this one previously - it has an MIT license:
https://github.com/dimsemenov/Magnific-Popup
http://dimsemenov.com/plugins/magnific-popup/

It provides an "iframe" mode - so we could launch the editing of 
subsections (name, id, etc) into the lightbox easily - mostly by 
simplifying the page down to just the title and form.  When editing is 
done, the user would close the lightbox, and we remain in the same 
context (though we'd likely need to reload the edit page).

This might be a more elegant solution to this problem that avoids much 
refactoring of the "subsections".
