Hm, dangerous back button. I liked the fact it served as an undo, but I wanted to navigate back here to say so, and had to click though a whole minute of edits. I would suggest not breaking the default functionality, back buttons should go back. Instead add an undo/history/revision button.

Why is this noteworthy? $('textarea#markup').keyup(function(){ $('div#preview').html( $(this).val() ); });

While it is true that this is dead simple to implement (and probably exists elsewhere. I know there are plenty of side-by-side editors that require you to push a button. I bet one realized they could eliminate that.), it's still very useful for people learning HTML, wanting to try some obscure thing with HTML super-fast, etc.

Easy to implement != useless or boring. Look at Twitter.
