Better. Is the "because the  ..." note really needed? I think it's adequately covered by the [expl].

should go with おひたし since share meaning and spelling お浸し
(made proposed edit there).

See discussion at (esp. #5):
http://oshiete.goo.ne.jp/qa/1345513.html

Saw at supermarket (as おしたし).
This is a corruption of おひたし (from 浸す).
It doesn’t appear to be region-specific – saw at supermarket in Kyoto, but as per reference, it’s also found in Tokyo, so I’d conclude it’s just for general ease of pronunciation, as in ばわい.

Aligning.

Most refs only give “bean” sense; koj gives “pea” for Fukushima and Niigata.
koj also specifies “bean” as specific to 山陰地方 and 愛知県 but this is too narrow (I saw this in Kyoto, at the supermarket (on green beans)) (in fact, same item as おしたし, so 2 new words for the price of 1).
Thus, I’d consider “bean” as common variant (non-dialectical), while “pea” sense as dialectical, which I’ve marked in the glosses.

just a variant of さて.  added there

See below.

It often appears in text which I am reading. It get about 2.5m Google hits. It seems to have much the same meaning as "さあ", which is included in the main dictionary. If you were doubtful about including this as a separate entry, maybe it could be combined with "さあ".

WWW confirmation of meaning.
