in reply to Don't worry about previewing <readmore> tags.
they appeared to not be working
What you are saying is that there is no visual cue that anything special is occurring. I think a big improvement would be to wrap the readmore'd section in a <div class="readmore">....</div> section, and then the default themes could tweak the the background colour to effect a subtle change. And you could do your own thing too.
This would provide immediate visual feedback that the readmore is working correctly. Who knows, this might open the door to allowing readmore sections to be collapsed/expanded on the client side.
I know it would save me some time when considering a post for the Front Page. If I see something worthy but lengthy, I have to go back to the section contents to see whether a readmore is present. If it's too long I'll put it up for janitoring. Seeing the readmore effect straight away would save a few trips to the server.
