Imagine a scenario where a user has no network connection and unknowingly left their browser in private browsing mode. Email, documents, financial transactions, etc could all be "saved" locally then later thrown away before they've had a chance to sync to a server.<div class="im"> </div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The same argument could be made for retaining cookies set during private browsing ;-)</div></div></blockquote><br></div><div>I disagree, as cookies are already specified to be of unspecified persistence.
