if i create a new file in the editor and hit view source, the editor makes me give a title to the page and then forces me to save it. why is this necessary?
the view source portion of the product requires either a stream, string or file for display. Streams or strings could be memory intensive and not the most desireable. Saving as a file and then display is the least memory intensive.

It could be saved as a temporary file.

view source doesn't seem to prompt me to save on todays linux, but see bug 40867 anyway.
Editor used to open a normal "View source" window, but now has a separate edit mode called "HTML Source" that it uses instead. Switching to the "HTML Source" edit mode doesn't require a save :)
