I use that in my app. If the user has been typing into an editing window, and
then closes the browser window, they will expect that what they typed
will show
up again when they restart the app. I use the onbeforeunload event in the
browser to handle this, along with a (rare) synchronous
ajax request to run a PHP termination script.

Really - you expect something that was being typed just before closing
to be (magically?) present when you re-open the browser to that page?
I would never expect something like to occur in any kind of computer
application that (most likely) has procedures to be followed to properly
use that page and save that data before closing it. Failure to follow
the rules and an abrupt closure of the page/browser should not retain
whatever I was doing and I can't fault it.
Granted - you are doing this for you appls. but the mere fact that you
have done so surprises me. I would never think to provide that service
on my appls.
