I'm thinking it might be very good to have a preview of your sig inside the profile page. (A little update button next to it would be great as well.)
This would make things easier when going through some tricky bb code; you could check to make sure it was working right without submitting it, then finding a post you made, then realizing you should have left out that _____, then going back to the preview page, et cetera.
You could also be clever, and put it inside a box of exactly 600x175 pixels; that way, users could know that if they have to have scroll buttons on that box, their sig is too big.
Another benifit would be that new users could (theoreticly) get their sig all made up without having to make a post before they do in order to see their sig. (Although this is a minor consideration; most new users I see have no sigs.)
Some other types of forums (like Vbulletin) do this (sans the 600x175 box), but I don't know how it might be possible with phpbb. I do think it would be a great idea, though.
