 This is a relatively minor issue, but I've often had the problem where I
 think a post is published because I can view it on the frontend and there
 is nothing on the page that indicates that I am viewing a draft. If this
 happens to me from time to time then I'm sure it happens to other users
 too.

 I propose adding a few unobtrusive visual cues to the single post page
 that indicates that you are viewing a draft. I have attached my changes
 here - they include:

 * Adding "(Draft)" to the end the 'edit post' text in the admin bar
 * Adding "(Draft)" to the end of the default link generated by {{{
 edit_post_link() }}}
 * Adding a new body class to single post pages: {{{ single-status-{status}
 }}}

 These changes are minor enough to not break the existing display, yet
 significant enough to clearly show that you are currently viewing a draft.
 The addition of the post status to the body class will also help with
 customising the page according to the current status.
