I agree that 'Discard' is better. I'd also like to propose a change to
the prompt that makes it clearer why the dialog has popped up. I propose
the following:
You have made changes to the currently selected item. Do you want to
save your changes?
[Cancel] [Discard] [Save]
I do kind of like the addition of the word 'Changes' in the two
right-hand buttons. (And I'm usually a fan of one-word button labels.)
It makes it totally clear what the choices are, even if the user doesn't
really bother to read the prompt. It also underlines more clearly the
difference between discarding the changes and proceeding, and canceling
and going back to the state you were in before.
I do however think the button labels are perfectly usable as-is.

If people don't feel strongly about the proposed buttons, then let's
