in reply to Private/In-Progress/Scratch nodes?

FYI, for number 3, I like to use my home node when I want to provide a brief code snippet to go along with a CB conversation.

Then I forget to remove the code snippet after the other user has seen it, leading to questions about why I have odd, random bits of code in my home node. :)

P.S. It's worth noting that, under your proposal, people using tilly's PerlMonks Navigator would see all the private nodes.

    In regards to the P.S., using 'private' is a misnomer here, moreso 'unlinked until linked'. I fully expect that under such a system, no nodes would be considered private (thus preventing use of such a system for storage of personal information). I would also make sure that when such nodes are displayed at PM, a large enough warning is given to the reader to understand that this node has been indicated as a work-in-progress and should be treated as such; I'd also prevent these nodes from being voted on until they reach the standard public status.
