I have a plan to get rid of nearly all overlays (*). The idea is to use
only two overlays. One if the record is hidden/disabled and the other if
any "special" conditions apply (various access/time restrictions, etc)
which flag the record (eg with an exclamation mark).

So we have 4 states of an icon:

normal
hidden/disabled
flagged
hidden/disabled and flagged

If an icon is flagged, it will get an (AJAX) tooltip that shows the user
which special conditions apply to this record.
