I have yet to see a real life example where multiple levels of inheritence is *critical* for an offline preview. With a little more CSS work, the preview could use a special background image or color to emphasize that it's simply a preview.
In order for this to truly be a "wicket feature", i think there are a few things that can be done. The first would be to add "wicket:preview" to the wicket namespace so that the preview will produce valid XHTML. If this attribute is promoted to the core wicket DTD, i think it makes sense for this javascript to be distributed directly with wicket as well. Of course some documentation would be needed too. If "previewable web pages" is considered a core feature of wicket, i think a feature like this would be really important to users "out of the box".
