Comment:

 there currently is this line:

 {{{
 $time_window = apply_filters( 'wp_check_post_lock_window',
 AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL * 2 );
 }}}

 in other words, the lock's time window is rather short. we'd only ever get
 a lock when two users edit a post, one after the other.

 suggested fix:

  - We add an onUnload event to the page using jQuery
  - onUnload even sends an ajax request to remove the lock
