For normal readers of our site, only entries which have the
'published' status are available for viewing. The determination was
made at some point in the past to show entries of any status if the
person reading a site was logged in to the backend. This has caused a
great deal of confusion to users.

I'm hoping to be able to get a consensus as to whether the ability to
see what entries will look like in the normal flow of one's blog is
worth the confusion it causes, or whether we should get rid of this
ability while still retaining the ability to see a preview of a post
from the publish page.

If it is something we decide we want to do, the change would be easy
to make. All that needs done is to create a url with a boolean
parameter that marks the entry as being viewed from the publish page,
and in theme.php test for the presence of that parameter as well as
whether the user is logged in or not, which is what we do now. If both
conditions are met, the entry will be shown, but only on a single
entry page. If not, it won't. Then, if the user navigates away from
the entry's page, only published posts will be seen, even if the user
is logged in.
