We decided that CK shouldn't do a preview mode because it ultimately isn't responsible for rendering content.

Our first attempt used a double-buffered iframe on form change to "live reload" a page whenever something changed. It worked pretty decently:

This can actually be really simple and effective if you do things like restore scroll.

I recall this work and it makes sense to me for CK not to provide a complete solution to this. I was thinking there might be some machinery that makes sense to include inside CK (similar to the solution you shared above) to facilitate easier integration of this feature on projects.
