I don't think entries other than those which have been published should ever be displayed on the actual blog. Often I'll publish an entry and go to my blog to see it. Seeing a draft entry would freak me out, since I hadn't told Habari to publish it. There's also no way of telling, unless a theme manually does so, which posts are published and which aren't. Axe the un-published posts.
