Make edits auto-recoverable if the editor's network crashes
Problem: An WP edit is lost when the editor's network goes down.
Who would benefit: Any editor who doesn't develop a post off-line.
Proposed solution: Like GMail, routinely autosave an editor's in-progress work.
More comments: Again, like GMail, create periodic saved-data (a snapshot of work to date) that can easily take over from the lost data of whatever type (message, article text, etc.)
