Description
When a user goes to post-new.php, a new auto-draft post is created.
Old auto-drafts are garbage-collected: #19663
To lessen the need for GC, we could send an AJAX request to delete the auto-draft immediately when the user navigates away from the page (but not when he presses the Submit button).

Replying to scribu:
The only problem I see would be when a user presses the Back button and then presses Forward again. Since the screen is loaded from memory instead of doing a new request, they would end up with an invalid post ID.
Or refreshes. These seem like more trouble than its worth. Closing. Totally fine if someone wanted to patch it and reopen it at a later date, though.
