Very interesting. Fear for loosing edits is one of the driving forces for high frequency consecutive saves.
Are HFCS's bad? They also reduce the chances of edit conflict don't they?
The thing I don't get in this mockup is, why would you have multiple drafts for one article? Also, are you planning on storing the version number that the original draft was created from, to let MediaWiki's normal edit conflict/resolution processes work their magic?
I like the idea of having one draft that I can come back to in the next half an hour or so. I'm not sure I understand the benefit of having multpile drafts that hang around for months at a time?
