The advantage of having the draft notice in the header or footer is that you
can include the purpose of the draft. I don't bother at my current gig, but
I used to have a selection of draft messages depending on whether the draft
document was for the purpose of technical review, legal review, marketing
review, stakeholder review, repro review or pre-distribution review.
