I think it's simpler for the user to never think about saving. The program should just save the history, and the user will find the document (or other object) in the state they left it. If they don't like the current state, they can undo to one they like.

the OLPC people believed the same thing, and the result is a flood of junk with the documents that you care about sprinkled though the junk. it's almost impossible to retrieve documents after a very short timeframe.
