Couldn't you just add a QuitAndDiscardHandler (like the existing QuitHandler) to com.apple.eawt? Or is that what you meant? That's all I would need. I'll put in an enhancement request for that.

Obviously we can't do anything as expansive as AppKit's NSDocument…but this area seems fertile for a small-scoped enhancement request. Please file one at <http://bugreporter.apple.com> if you would like to see a feature like this, and be sure to include the types of data you would want to persist.
My main concern is that the user has a meaningful experience, i.e. either apple-Q and alt-apple-Q do something different and meaningful, or one or the other can be suppressed. I'm not too bothered about resumption.
