Comment:

 This is also something that could be considered an issue with the media
 modal in the admin - within the context of any post, attachments probably
 shouldn't be published until the post is published.

 That being said, I agree that leveraging the `auto-draft` status makes the
 most sense here, and actually may not be all that difficult to do. If all
 of the attachment meta is saved as it is now, that should still work
 because the associated attachment is still an `auto-draft` and therefore
 wouldn't be visible, right? For existing attachments, though, that would
 be an issue. We might want to focus first on new attachments and then
 pursue previewing changes to existing attachments, as that starts to get
 into things like previewing edits to actual image files where duplicating
 existing attachments as `auto-draft`s may become necessary.
