Hadn't thought about it until now, but this feature may be why I don't see "I wrote you a long message but accidentally closed the tab / hit the back button / my computer crashed and I lost it, so here's the highlights I remember" emails from friends and family anymore. I would much rather discover this caveat and opt out than expect my grandmother to know it's even possible to opt in.

At this point, isn't that responsiblity larged handled by server-based autosave? GMail / Google Docs being the big ones, I assume FB and other social networking sites do the same.

Also, couldn't this session-restore feature be triggered for this specific tab _after_ I've started to type text in a box?
