Of course, it would just be the text area (not the surrounding layout).

You really have to try it out for yourself to get a feel and it’ll become obvious as to what I’m getting at. You can download it for free and use it (anyone wanna take a stab at a plugin?) or even use your own private “pad” if you want.

Check out Firepad.io and let me know what you think.
