I’ve managed to create a plugin that adds titles to replies – and documented it. The plugin is available for download from my website:

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

One other thing, re:

“Preview sounds good – but better yet would be an AJAX thing that means you don’t even have to reload the page when you post. “

That’s what I meant by using the DOM. In fact there would be no need for AJAX even – by using the javascript DOM you can ‘preview in place’ the post you are currently working on. If users do not have javascript enabled, then graceful degradation would mean that a button to view the preview on a separate page would be visible.
