My habit has been to use a particular icon of some kind (preferably
color - but that's not always possible) so that the fact that there is a
warning is obvious as soon as you hit the page. My reasoning has been
that if it's eye-catching enough, people will know as they read that
page that caution is required even before they get to the specifics of
what and why.

But, this is making me wonder . . .
