I agree. You can play in the sandbox of moinmoin to see that approach:

What they do is:
 * Display the edited part of the page under the EditQuickReference material
 * add a background image that displays "Draft"

I think for the next step this is enough. It is not a matter to preview the
entire
page but to preview being changed.

I am doing experiments with customized headers and footers which themselves
refer to
wikiPages. My statement is, that all customization must be such that all
wiki pages
fit into a <div> element in HTML. Then no accident should happen.
