I agree with Erik that it looks too much like the "you have new message" 
notification. But it's certainly a useful feature and I think it would 
be a pity to force people disable it for aesthetic reasons. I think if 
it was not bold, it would blend in to the other top links and you'd 
barely notice it unless you were looking for it. Plus it would look like 
"delete this page" and "protect this page", so it would be reasonably 
consistent also.
