Playing with ERD2WModern is fun. As I tried various things with Stylesheets two 
related questions have come to mind and I wonder wether and how this could be 
achieved.

A customer of mine had the problem that an embedded editor page (e.g. for 
relationships) has a "Save" button and when pressed everything is saved. Of 
course you and I know that this is not true. Data is only pushed from a child 
EC up to a parent. However this is not something that I think a non-IT person 
should know. Save is save and that's it! In the current scenario the customer 
lost all edits because he did not press "Save" on the outermost editor but 
instead chose another navigation tab. 

How can this be prevented? I have two ideas and want to know if this is 
possible:

As long as the outermost EC hasChanges() a key in d2wcontext should be 
available so that some kind of mark/graphic/text/whatever can be shown 
conditionally alerting the user that there are unsaved changes. Additionally to 
optically alert the user that he is (still) inside an editing session it would 
be great if the surrounding screen area could be dimmed. As long as there are 
dimmed areas (e.g. the navigation area) the users clearly sees that he is still 
inside an editing session and going to any navigation tab is (at least 
optically) discouraged.

Any ideas?

PS I love D2WModern, the more I play with it the more I love it!
