That's an interesting idea. I'd use text() rather than pattern() though.

A real world example could be a text preview of a form/email being sent...
something that needs its content to be updated live. Maybe one of those
"fill-a-word" forms.
This can all be done in easy and simple javascript though, so I don't
actually see much *use* for it, but I still think it's an excellent idea.
