I encourage users to do "unsaved edits" to 1) see how various pages  
work, and 2) to copy-n-paste wikitext to modify.

So on sites where I train users, I'd EXPECT there to be a large  
number of unsaved edits -- I do it myself all the time!

I agree that it would be simply wonderful if we had WYSIWYG editing.  
But I'm unwilling to give up anything else in order to get it.
