in reply to Preview button on updated own posts?
I sometimes (when I feel unsure getting the formatting right the first time) just open a fake reply to my own node, with the sole purpose of having a text area with preview functionality. After having fiddled around with my update until it looks fine, I then cut-n-paste the respective snippet into the text area of my existing to-be-updated node (or rather, into my favorite editor, which I have attached via Firefox's It's All Text! add-on), and just close the dummy reply browser tab.
Anyhow, if you use this workaround, be sure to not inadvertendly hit the 'submit' button for the dummy preview!
That said, I agree that having built-in preview functionality for node updates would be nice to have.
