Actually, all those considerations are useless. As I said in another
mail, Studio does not have to knwo anything about the semantic of what
characterises a 'disabled' user : we just need to associated a filter
(that the Studio users will configure to fit their need) to a
presentation handler, leveraged by the Browser plugin when drawing an
entry. Simple, context-free, and does not take care of non-standard dead
draft that are not implemnted properly by many servers...
