speaking for normos, this is interesting to see this comment because we 
were thinking about doing this for our users and we are doing it. stay 
tuned! The way we are going to do is to completly seperate the expired 
draft archive so that they will be no confusion about the expired and 
non-expired draft. It is for us very important to clearly identify and tag 
the expired drafts.
