Hi Richard, Data in the task queue is not "accessible in some fashion when the user inputs it." There is currently no way to query / retrieve tasks from a queue, its a one-way-street so to speak.
It sounds like you're implementing an autosave type feature? If you use memcache, remember it is just a cache and a given key (or the whole thing) could be flushed at any time. If you use the taskqueue (or deferred), remember that the tasks may not be run in the order they were inserted (particularly true if a queue backs up at all). if possible, you'll want to keep some type of revision count so you don't overwrite new with old. If you provide more info someone can probably offer additional pointers.
