Yes.  You could store just the edit submit logic in Acre.  Here's some  
documentation on the pure Acre pattern for writes:

In your case, only the "Doing the Write" part would be in Acre,  
although you'd probably want to do something about the "Managing the  
user's authorization state" part so the user doesn't suddenly get  
intercepted with the oauth approval page when submitting an edit.

This is kind of a new pattern, but I think it should be easy to do.   
Feel free to contact me directly or post more details on exactly what  
you want to do so we can help out.  I'd love to post the pattern for  
others to copy once it's working.
