When I was listening to the drip of water into a bucket from a leak
in our almost new roof at 4 o'clock this morning, it occurred to me
that the following alternative might be better:
- forget about a delete draft button on the edit page
- when editing a draft, provide a link to 'Edit Original Page'
- if someone clicks the link to edit, the preview button reads
Preview & Overwrite Newer Draft
- so someone will only overwrite the draft after editing the
original, which seems to me a more logical order
OTOH the hour of the wolf is not a good time for thought.
