 Great, I'll take a look!

 I like the idea of using the percentage method for shorter text, which the
 likely the majority use case. Ideally, when Gutenberg will also add
 localstorage support for autosaves and we can store those much more
 frequently.

 > Finally, if we follow-through with this metric, would we want these
 thresholds to be filterable?

 A single filter at the end of the process that passes the difference
 calculation results (`wp_create_revision_for_api_autosave` ) is sufficient
 for plugins to provide custom behavior based on the difference. An extra
 filter for the threshold by itself seems like overkill.
