Well, about the edit preview, don't worry about. Our Parser is complicated enough that anything like that isn't happening soon.
It already has: http://wikiwyg.org/wysi/
This actually works much more smoothly than most of the examples of misuse of AJAX to which I referred. At least it doesn't make each character in the entry field wait on each character being rendered before proceeding in the entry field (thank goodness). It's still kind of slow and cumbersome, but not nearly as bad as what I'd previously encountered.
