Yes, and I'm thinking that this would be a very good thing to do. Put it in the header or footer, not as a "watermark" as such, much as I did for the "Free eBook Edition" notice on some of the OOo PDFs. That way it's obvious but doesn't interfere with the text, and it's quick and easy to remove when we declare the document "final".
