Great suggestion, Moshe. I would put it even slightly more different:

* Tag/put in a workflow called "Preview"
* Have a view / panel that is live + preview + preview-archive (the
preview-archive is for, perhaps, articles that will go away from the live
* (optional) make a little code that moves all "preview" to "live" (and live
to preview-archive)
