 A main problem with adding this is that it seems that there's
 currently no chapter, where this fits in. While there is a section
 about save confirmation alerts in the Window chapter, I don't think
 that this is the right place to put this. (It should merely point to a
 chapter, where application exit behaviour is described.) Maybe we
 should add a chapter "Behaviour"?

+The guidelines already recommend against a confirmation where there is
+nothing to be saved (in the section "Closing operation menu items" in
+the Menus chapter).  I've just added a more explicit note along the
+lines of Seth's comment to the draft, in the same section.  Agree
+either or both of these might belong elsewhere in the long run, but
+closing as fixed for now.
