Comment(by nacin):

 I wanted to get the basic structure committed first so others can see what
 we are confusing each other about.

 This still needs some love.

 UI - I imagine we will want to visually separate this meta box from the
 others. Maybe even lock it to the top (and allow it to be collapsible, but
 kick it out of screen options), and shade it like a widget box (see mock
 from Tracy above).

 JS - Currently it works non-JS. So now we just need to add progressive
 enhancements. I am thinking about this in two stages. One, the "Save"
 button needs to save them via AJAX. In fact, the button (when JS) should
 probably be disabled unless the meta box is dirty, simply because it's an
 asynchronous setting any way you look at it.

 Two, the "Save Menu" button needs to copy over these fields and post them
 with the form, otherwise they will not be saved if the "Save" button was
 not pressed. That ensures everything being seamless.

 UX - Finally, we need some UX feedback here. But I think we should bite
 our tongues a little until the UI and JS stuff gets farther along.

 Feel free to run with this farther without me.
