Since bug 4801 was fixed, it is now possible to preview the source code of scripts and stylesheets when editing CSS and JS pages. Nonetheless, the source code is displayed in a <pre> instead of being highlighted (as happens e.g. after the page is saved).
It would be useful to have Geshi highlighting applied to the code during preview, because then the users wouldn't need to put <source> tags around the code (as in the URL above).

I'm not sure this really has anything to do with Geshi, does it? This would require previews to use Geshi, is all.

Geshi is an extension, so previews using Geshi would have to be implemented in Geshi, not in core.

...or in SyntaxHighlight, rather. Geshi is the highlighting library.
I recall reading a comment in another bug that this would require a new hook for extensions (I don't remember what bug it was, though, and I couldn't find the comment when I looked earlier)... Am I misremembering, or is that correct?
