I find the display of draft posts when I'm logged in confusing, and I
think this is an acceptable solution in total.

To address concerns of others who might want to see draft posts in
post listings, we could possibly add a notice via one of the popup
session messages.  "The site is in preview mode, where you can see
draft posts as if they are published.  <a>Toggle this.</a>"

I'm not sure what would trigger this to turn on, but having the
message there addresses the concern of seeing a post that you know
shouldn't be published, and having the option to turn it off/on will
let those users who appreciate that feature continue to use it.

It might even be an option that is only available to turn on from
something like the Habmin bar plugin.
