Create draft and redirect

I noticed you have ‘Create draft and redirect’ on the to do list in the Tasks document.

Would this be the process?

1. User clicks on create new button in the toolbar
2. A draft post is created in it’s most very basic form (just an ID is assigned – no title, no content, no tags…)
3. A redirect takes the user to the post edit page. For example, if permalinks were set to post_id then the URL would be example.com/post_id/edit/
4. The Front-end Editor does it’s stuff.
5. Click save to publish

To me this seems the most obvious way of creating new posts. If this is the intended approach, I have a question – how would you handle drafts being discarded during step 4? For example, if the user decides not to proceed with the update and closes the browser window you’d be left with lots of empty posts. Just trying to think of a way around this?
