If they're going this route, then the user shouldn't be able to tell that an application has been closed behind their back. The application should just be restored when they try to switch back to it.

If the openness of an application should be obsolete, then the user shouldn't be able to tell without explicitly poking through 'ps'

They actually did this, with hiding indicators on the dock by default, but then reverted it in the final GMs. It's definitely the direction they are going in, but it was probably deemed too radical a change for this release. Maybe in 10.8
