I like this idea of throwing in an extra warning. But I feel like I
missed something in Karl's original post. Karl brings up this whole
subject as if it were a de-facto truth that this potential UI
confusion is a serious problem... but is there really a problem here?
In all my years, I've never heard of anyone being bitten by this.
