Attachment: tombstone-screen.jpg
Mark,
I'm slightly confused as to the usage of the new tombstone page (for others --
I've attached a screenshot above, see: tombstone-screen.jpg).
A few things that seem a bit odd to me:
1) First off, I noticed this screen throws a 200 OK. Likely this should be
either a 404 or perhaps a 401 (unauthorized)?
2) Perhaps more importantly, I'm not sure I understand the purpose of the email
& comments field? It isn't self explanatory what that does (and the page
itself doesn't tell you anything about why you'd want to enter your email &
whether it's required or not). It looks like that field ends up sending an
email to the "feedback recipient". But, unfortunately the sent email has no
context information (it's impossible to tell which Item the user was visiting
when they sent that email). So, I wonder what the purpose of having a feedback
email on the Tombstone page provides? Do you have a specific use case here
that you are attempting to meet?
I also wonder in my mind whether we have a small usability issue here. I
wonder why we even provide an option to login for Withdrawn items? It seems to
imply that with your login you'd get access to the item. But, that's not the
case (unless you are an Administrative user). Instead, you just go to a screen
that says "This item is withdrawn".
All that being said, I think this is a good step in the right direction. I
mostly wonder about the usefulness of the Feedback email on that page (but we
could always just remove that for now), and want to ensure we are responding
with something other than 200 OK.
I'd be curious to hear others feedback on this.

> If you withdraw an item via the XMLUI, and then visit the item page as a
> non-Admin, you are asked to login. After a valid login, the page displays:
> "You do not have the credentials to access the restricted item
> hdl:123456789/1". This is a misleading message as the item has actually
> been withdrawn and should be displayed as withdrawn.
> If you happen to access a withdrawn item as an Administrator, you are
> displayed the item as normal (with no indication that the item is withdrawn).
> This is also misleading as the Administrator may assume that the item was
> not withdrawn successfully.
> Rather than displaying such a "Restricted Item" message for withdrawn items,
> the following should probably happen:
> (1) User is displayed an "Item has been withdrawn" message
> (2) The page should return a 404, so that search engines are encouraged to
> remove the item from their indexes
> (3) If an Admin accesses a withdrawn item, he/she should see a message that
> clearly states that the item is withdrawn (likely at the top of the page),
> while also seeing the normal metadata/files for the withdrawn item.
