Oops, I obviously got too focused on the "autosave elsewhere" part of this.

However, I think the essence of my point was correct. Without activating the 
options added in Mountain Lion, if you quit with a dirty document and relaunch, 
it comes back as a dirty document. You've neither lost nor gained anything by 
quitting. In fact, IIUC, even if you don't quit, a timed autosave will also 
save the document in place, right?

You can still discard your changes, if you wish, which seems to be one of the 
worries Steve had. Steve also seems worried that autosaved changes are visible 
to other apps using the same document, but that's a design choice of the 
post-Lion document architecture, with the whole coordinator/presenter mechanism 
to support it.

Steve might validly be worried about the privacy implications of this behavior, 
but it seems over-alarmist to call it dangerous or dumbed-down.
