That seems like at best an awkward workaround, not a real solution to
the problem, which is that the term "edit XXXX" suggests you're starting
with XXXX and modifying it. The term "replace" by contrast, seems more
to connote entirely removing XXXX and substituting something else.
[I do wonder how on earth the current awkward behavior was accepted in
the first place...]
