   Untested, but here goes:

(define docelem (lambda (#!optional (n (current-node)))
  (node-property 'document-element (node-property 'grove-root n))))

(define %show-comments%
  (string=? "draft" (attribute-string "status" (docelem))))

   Let me know if this doesn't work (not sure about the behavior of
current-node at the top level).
