Well this sounds like another API we could use: a generic undo API. I
know I could find something like that useful in the WebKit port
eventually, since implementing undo for form controls is offloaded to
the platform.
If the undo API included command classes which could be archived
(which would probably be pretty easy to implement) it would be trivial
to save and restore the state.

Why can't the application just store everything in the given message?
Why would it need another directory?
I personally don't like the idea of passing information to a method in
a BMessage which is also used to store state.
