As far as I'm concerned, they could be part of the template preview.   
The details one could be a template as well; we'd lose TeX font  
parsing, but simplifying prefs would be good (and we could remove some  
controller code from BibItem).

That's an open question.  From my perspective, the files view is more  
flexible, but I've argued against both options in the past :).  User  
feedback would be helpful.
