Thanks for the clarification

Yes, I am looking for the "save", "save as" and "autosave" metaphors

OSDS is a great input, thanks.  I've started on the "autosave" feature
already for the file system, which is the use case that I needed

Hopefully there could be some reusable close in OSDS, thanks for the

The schemes I'll support to start with are file:, http:, https:, and
possibly git:
