At first glance, I don't see anything wrong. Please note that variable "view:preview" has a *document view scope*, not a document scope, not a global scope. This means that what you did should work within the same ``document window'' but not in the ``window'' of another document and not in another ``window'' (with a different style sheet) of the same document. If this is not the case, may be you have found a bug and in such case, send us an new email reporting this.
