Basic concept
An area is a structural block of a web page and collects one or more paragraphs. Web developers commonly sub divide a page into a number of areas to group together similar content in order to improve usability, legibility and, in general, the overall structure of a page.
...
To further reduce the number of bars visible, Area Editing shall combine the edit bar and the new bar of a regionan area by mounting the actions to add a paragraph and to edit a region an area onto the same bar.
Empty areas occupy space

If an area requires the user to provide values for mandatory parameters, the forms collecting them will have to show up before the forms asking for parameter values of the actual paragraph. These forms must explain why additional values have to be given - please see the page describing how adding a paragraph (TBD) works for further details and mockups.
