Re: Adding a warning to Working Drafts pointing to Editor's Drafts

Good evening,

Will this take into consideration the recommendations that:

a. The warning should be identified with a heading, and

b. The 'greyed' color needs to be WCAG 2.0 level AA compliant (i.e. 4.5:1 contrast)?

Also, how persistent will the hiding of the warning be and will this mechanism be accessible?

Regards,
Everett

Maybe Ian can go first so other editors have an example to copy from. It seems the general sentiment is in favor of a warning that shows up no matter where you are in the draft, but can be hidden to avoid distraction.
