Seems reasonable to me. I'd also like to get your opinion if we should be showing what the raw pattern is for the content.

In that case, why not preview the actual URL that will be generated based on the pattern? That is, if I'm understanding 'raw pattern for the the content' correctly.

From the specific example you would also be able to deduce the underlying pattern.

No, it would showing something like "The automatic alias pattern will be generated as content/[node:title]" Actually doing a live preview of the pattern is a much, much harder problem that timmillwood tried to solve and couldn't and I don't have the time to. I should have probably not asked. :)

Probably :)
I don't think it would *much* help to show the generic pattern. Only useful during pathauto setup, the first couple of times to find the right pattern, after that this setting should be fine and you don't need to be reminded.
