This seems to make the most sense to me. The other
approaches mentioned seem too complex and push
unnecessary logic to the client.

This may make it hard for clients to fetch only draft
posts without having to fetch unnecessary posts from
the server. Of course, this reminds me that there
needs to be a way to fetch lightweight entries (title
+ id) from the server for low bandwidth clients such
as mobile phones.

I reserve the right to execute any henchmen who appear to be a little too intelligent, powerful, or devious. However if I do so, I will not at some subsequent point shout "Why am I surrounded by these incompetent fools?!"
