IE, especially older versions, have some interesting caching issues,
and therefore clicking back may not return what you think it should
return.  Firefox and Safari are far more intelligent in that regard.

Absolutely.  This is a good strategy.

BTW, we still *could* do something about this.  I've been thinking
about making an AJAX-driven "temporary storage", in which the browser
could save drafts at suitable intervals.  This would allow you to
recover easily.

In addition, it would allow true collaborative editing (i.e. multiple
people at the same time on the same page).   Barring some performance
issues, I think it should be possible.
