If gravitons can radiate away from the brane that defines spacetime, it occurs 
to me that while a ripple in spacetime must needs propagate along the brane, 
the gravitons would follow a 'straight line' rather than bending along the 
curve of the brane. This might mean that if they were detectable, under some 
circumstances, a change in the gravity flux would precede the gravity wave.
