Come now. It also has popular and enduring use for Myspaceification of user pages in ways that cause various pretty pictures to appear in positions that block the GFDL link.

What we really need to go alongside disabling absolute CSS positioning is a software-level way of detecting and announcing the protection level (etc) of a page.
