In our osmo-gsm-manuals, there are various code listings that one would like to
copy-paste from the PDF. That would theoretically work, but practically, the
'DRAFT' watermark in the backdrop confuses the text marking, hence making
copy-pasting some text from the manuals very very cumbersome. Though I'm not
that sure why we need a 'DRAFT' watermark in an open source manual (it's
implicitly a draft), I am fine with having such a marking.

But I would like the marking to be less obtrusive. We could experiment with
putting a bitmap image in the backdrop instead of text, or even better IMHO
would be to put it in the page header next to the version.

We could also add a generic "DRAFT" disclaimer near the beginning of each
document.

(Same goes for the sysmocom internal manuals, for which it isn't so easy to get
the asciidoc source to paste from.)

Any opinions on this?
