* Firefox 2.0.0.14: The preview opens in the very same window.
* Opera 9.10: The preview does not open, at all.
* IE 7.0.5730.11: The preview opens in a new window.
This behaviour might well depend on the browser settings, which I have
not explored. But even if so, the problem remains that the review can
delete the enhancements entered by the unsuspecting user.
So, if this is not a bug, it is a feature request.
For an example on how this can be done right, try the Vorschau

preview it. Hence, I am forced to save a version that I have not
previewed.
The sequence of events is as follows:
1. I open the edit page,
2. I enter some enhancements,
3. I hit the Preview button, and I check the effect of my enhancements,
4. there are no buttons in the Preview pane, hence I have to go back
to the Edit page to save my contribution,
5. back to the edit page, I find my enhancments from step 2, above,
have disappeared, and I have to re-enter them.
A possible solution would be to have the submit button, and its
associated fields, also in the Preview pane.
