--- Comment #11 from Terrence Enger <[email protected]> ---
Thank you, Drew, for your attention.

In other bug reports, IIRC, I have seen some questioning of whether
data changes should be saved upon close-without-saving.  I think we
are caught between two strong and mutually contradictory expectations:

(1) A user thinking of data entry into a database will expect changes
    to become permanent at the end of each transaction, for some
    meaning of transaction.  If Base is linked to an external
    database, this is how we work.  Right?

(2) A user thinking of maintaining an office document will expect
    close-without-save to discard the whole session.

I see no way to reconcile these expectations.  Comments welcome.
