In Place Editor - Dates

While browsing the API, I noticed that in place editing is going away
in Rails 2.0

http://api.rubyonrails.org/files/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/macros/in_place_editing_rb.html

  1. Is the replacement plugin here? Is so, where can I find it and its
    documentation
  2. Does anybody have a solution for doing in_place_edit of dates, or
    other valid column types? (integer, float, datetime, date, timestamp,
    time, text, string, binary, and boolean
