I think "forn_autosave" or "autosave_form" or using "autosave" itself (assuming current maintainer agrees), is a better title, as its not just node's that this module can support.

Merging it with autosave module probably will not work. As long as maintainers seem to be not interested in it #1280840: Modernize for Drupal 7
So I think making it work for any form, but not only for nodes, and call it "form_autosave" might be useful. I'm not sure there is an easy way to make it work for custom forms created with FormsAPI or modules like webform. But I will look into it in more details a bit later.

I agree. I like the generalized approach of saving the form state instead of field states -- that seems helpful for avoiding validation issues without needing to resort to things like the required_for_pub module. (http://drupal.org/project/required_for_pub)
