So Facebook and Twitter should also save drafts of posts you were going to make? What if latency is non-trivial, or connection is lost? Do I also want to send ajax posts for drafts every second to ensure that as little as possible is lost? A lot of this is mitigated by a very simple confirm("Are you sure you want to leave?");
