This may be do-able through the current password scheme. For example,
suppose you want some people editing, but restricted saving. A check in
config.php along these lines should do it:
if ($preview) $DefaultPasswords['edit'] = crypt('59rodney');
if (@$_POST['post']) $DefaultPasswords['edit'] = crypt('3ngaio');
I haven't tested this.

Nice. That should be do-able; I'll give it a try. I think maybe just
highlight the page name yellow if a draft exists, then it's just 1 colour.

3 reasons:
- I designed it for use with an 800 by 600 projector
- it follows the left align convention of the bookmark and tab bars
in Safari
- I simply didn't think of centering it -- it would probably look better
centred on a higher resolution display
