 Sorry I'm going to repeat myself but '''autosaving is''' "trigger saving a
 post". It is the same concept of "saving a post", uses the same data
 shape, form, and size, and performs the same action as a result of the
 same intend by the client.

 The logical problem in having `POST /autosaves/` endpoint is that it is
 "superficial". Autosaves don't exist outside posts and revisions.

 Anyway, think we delved into very "philosophical" discussion here :)

 I'm assuming that:
 - You are +1 on the patch that introduces an `autosaves` end point.
 - Daniel is a +1 on the patch that adds autosave support to the `posts`
 endpoint.

 Anybody else?
