Exit or Close Button?

Just another perspective on the rationale for this.  A lot of our users don't complete courses in a single pass, they need to be able to save their state and resume later (cmi.core.exit/cmi.exit == "suspend" + LMSFinish/Terminate).  It's not intuitive that closing a browser window will save state.  You wouldn't expect this if you were part way through an airline ticket purchase for example, why would you assume it for your eLearning?

For state to be saved reliably across LMS and be resumable, up until completion we would need a way to exit and set the exit status to "suspend" and after completion an exit button that exited normally.

Just lastly, please don't make the exit button close the window.  It's not the prerogative of the scorm activity to do this, the LMS chooses whether a scorm package is loaded in a new window and can close or navigate away accordingly when it receives a call to LMSFinish/Terminate.

Thanks in advance
