browsers don't save things by default. that's how they are.

the thing in the interface that tells you that you're looking at a browser is up to you... in my mind, the address at the top, starting with http:// is the part of the UI that says my changes will be thrown away...

this is kinda why i'm miffed that there is an explicit "throw my changes away" button, when that's the default behaviour

// Depends on your browser.

when "submit form" and "save" are the same action, it doesn't depend on browser...

keeping it in cache/locally/whatever is not "saving".
