I was wondering: is there was anyway to get a page’s status into the  
page?

Basically, I’d like to be able to show the editor whether or not their  
looking at a Draft (if they’re on the dev.host of course). I figure a  
.draft CSS rule should do the trick, but I need some way to  
conditionally output it.

I could whip something up to do this unless it’s already been done.
