Hi Sean:

I'm not sure what details you might want to include, but since the embargo 
information is all carried in standard metadata fields,
you could (using whatever UI stack you are on  JSPUI, XMLUI) have the UI detect 
if the item is embargoed
 (essentially, that just means that there is a liftdate field whose value is 
later than the time of testing), then do whatever you want in the UI based on 
that fact:
put up some special markup, turn the page red or blinking (with css), etc

Even without any special handling, just making sure the terms and/or liftdate 
fields appear on the item page (through configuration) might provide enough 
information for the requestor.

Is this the sort of thing you want to achieve?

Thanks,

Richard
