My personal preference would be not to have a constantly visible message (since that gets distracting), but rather something that is at least partly visible in the first screenful of content on a reasonable-size screen. That seems to be the case for the Navigation Timing warning box, but the HTML5 draft at least has much lengthier front matter. 

I suspect removing all but one of the previous version links and putting the warning higher up in the SotD would do the trick.

Note: these are just personal preferences and I am not inclined to be pushy about them if the WG prefers otherwise.
