Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 > alternative is to set post_type: 'autosave' and then to "convert" it to
 the proper post_type = 'revision' as soon as the request is received

 Interesting idea - this at least works within an existing field.

 wondering if in the schema somewhere we have or can add a 'supports
 autosave' flag so clients know a post type supports autosaves (might be
 there already?).... also thinking we could add a helper to the wp.api
 client so you could do `post.autosave();` and handle the status change
 internally.
