The first problem here is that:

"...people can edit the draft version, which then goes live..."

is really a description of normal editing :-)

But if we include the word "later" it should be okay.

The second problem is that I think we've dropped the BLP issue - many
protected pages are BLPs, but they're not the special targets for
this.
