 The goal here is to improve the user experience when your login has / will
 expire, as discussed in
 [http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/07/wordpress-3-6-autosave-and-
 post-locking/ WordPress 3.6: Autosave and Post Locking] and the
 [http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/25/agenda-for-todays-autosave-and-
 post-locking-team/ autosave and post locking team meeting in IRC].

 The suggested tactic is to integrate the [https://github.com/Penske-Media-
 Corp/pmc-post-savior/ PMC Post Savior] plugin into core.  That part should
 be pretty straightforward.

 I think 3 valuable enhancements that are on the plugin's roadmap, but not
 yet complete would be:
 * Alert properly on failed requests and lost connectivity.  If my internet
 connection has gone down and I'm still working, I should be alerted that
 I'm "Working offline" and my changes aren't being automatically saved.  I
 don't think this should be a blocking UI, but it should be obvious.
 * Block publish/save until login has been verified.  Polling duration can
 be decreased (or maybe even done away with entirely) if we block the
 Publish/Save/etc actions until we've verified the user's cookie.
 * Pre-emptive notification.  When approaching the user's login cookie
 expiration time, say 1 hour before, display a message and allow the user
 to extend their login.  For example, how banking sites notify you when
 you've been inactive too long and they're about to log you out.
