Comment:

 This actually needs a new design proposal now, for how the Gutenberg
 editor will integrate with the customizer ([comment:15]). The result is a
 unified interface for editing any aspect of a site with contextual live
 preview (and unified drafting/scheduling/publishing options). There are
 two fundamental design directions that this could go in:
 1. Separate that editor from the front-end preview. Similar to the editor
 in `wp-admin`. The disadvantage is that the preview gets less "live", but
 it may be an easier technical implementation. UI could live in a sidebar
 or in a full-screen overlay that gets toggled with the preview similar to
 the mobile customizer interface.
 2. Integrate the editor into the front-end preview. This could be similar
 to the wp-admin editor with a sidebar for post- and block-level controls,
 with the actual editing happening inline on the frontend of the site.
 Other aspects of site editing would also move from the customize sidebar
 into the preview in this scheme. The preview should retain the ability to
 navigate to different pages on the site during the editing process,
 complicating the technical implementation. This is the general approach
 that I advocated for above in this ticket.
