Autosave while typing title creates permalink too soon

Description
Autosave is a great help to prevent loosing one's post, but I just stumbled on a possible defect: autosave happened while I was typing my post's title. I was not yet done with typing, so while my fully-typed was of the form "aaaa bbbb ccc ddddd eee ffff", the permalink generated by the autosave was just "aaaa bbbb ccc".
This is not a big issue, since I can edit the permalink whenever I want, but this is still a hindrance.
I think autosave should be disabled while the focus is on the title.

Not sure if we should explicitly disable autosave while the title field has focus. Perhaps we can disable it for 3 sec on each keyup there or something similar.

Autosave should be disabled until there is content in the post body.
Some people like to enter a title, upload content, then write a post. It all comes down to individual taste.
IMO, a autosave to get a post ID should occur pretty early, but the permalink should not be created until the title has not had focus for ~5 seconds?
Something in the back of my head says that the slug is not set in stone at that point however and may change? (Or am i completely wrong?)

Alright; how about doing it the first time any one of the following occurs :
- The title looses focus and is not blank.
- The title has not had focus for 1 minute and there is content in the post body.
- There is more than X characters in the post body.
- The Upload dialog is opened.

And, if the post is autosaved while the title is blank, then the first time the title is changed the slug should be changed to match.

Can you autosave without creating a permalink at all?
That would be best; autosave anyway but don't create a permalink until the first time the title looses focus and is not blank.

The permalink that is generated on the autosave of a new post isn't permanent - it will get refreshed once you click "save draft" or "publish" and if the title has changed then so will the permalink. So I don't see any issue here?
I think it works this way now. I have tried and it waits until I focus another place to autosave and create the permalink.
Maybe you are having some trouble with javascript? Any plugin?
