I think I am beginning to catch on. But why then not be radical about
it and say "no IFs" (and BUTs :-)). Can the problem not be solved by
introducing two browsing templates; one for normal users and one for
administrators? Moreover, you could simply offer something like
###EDITLINK### that shows up as either the link to the edit page or as a
message "page locked" and ###COPYLINK### that shows up as either a link to
the the copy or a message "no copy available". I think that would cover al
the IFs that are used now in the templates.

But something tells me that Arno has probably already thought about this. :-)
