Yes, it really doesn't look as if you are supposed to save the buffer.
However, if I'm taking the minutes of an hour-and-a-half-long meeting in
a corner of the building where the wifi is a bit flakey, my 'C-x C-s'
reflex kicks in.  However, as the text is only written to the text box,
it won't help me if the connection goes down just as I try to save
within the browser.

It would be nice if there were some way to attach a file to a file-less
buffer, just in case.
