@Jdforrester-WMF I have been working on a Confluence wiki with (server-side) auto-save for several months and they have something your current proposal do not include: being able to see a diff before choosing. It is really useful, because I often do not remember what I was doing exactly when I closed the editing page 2 or 3 days before editing again.

[Spun off from that one.]
