Comment (by majick):

 Is there any reason to not simply output the posted data - especially the
 post content - to the screen if the user hits the "Are you sure you want
 to do this" screen? At least that way they can save any data locally
 before hitting back or try again - both of which could be bad moves and
 lose the data... at least this way it mitigates any ensuing panic...

 I know from experience this has happened to me many times, and for this
 reason I've gotten in the practice of *at least* copying the post content
 to the clipboard before hitting Update to be safe - but this precaution
 wouldn't be necessary for the end user if the raw post data - again it's
 mostly the post content - was directly available after submission anyway -
 without having to rely on the browser cache or more complex solutions
 which may not ever be 100%. my 2c.
