Don't blame the victim.
Maybe we could allow saving things to a given subpage of their user page
Users/{name}/backup/{pagetitle}/{serial number} ? That gets rid of the "wipes out what was there already" problem.
I would rather expect an "autosave" feature to use some local storage mechanisms (to keep incomplete edits confidential and to deal with e.g. connectivity problems). Making the recovery process discoverable is a bit difficult, but in any case, wikispace is not a good place to save such content, even if it's done only for edit conflicts for edits that have been submitted.
