 > My biggest objection to it is that buttons are missing.
 That's a violation of GUI guidelines.
 > I was quite confused as every other dialog opening in the browser has at
 least a Cancel/Close button and was wondering whether I really should
 click on the red and dangerous "x" (it's red for a reason, right?).
 Yes, it's for discarding the changes.
 > I finally concluded, "yes, that's obviously the intention" and pressed
 it anxiously.
 Booom :)
 > So, I think this is not going to fly with a user who is supposed to
 acknowledge possibly changes by clicking on a button that screams
 "Abort!!1! Danger!1!!". (the situation might be different for the mobile
 browser, though)
 (yeah, ux team is doing something strange for mobile...)
 > What about just a "Close" button? I don't know but I suspect users are
 starting to ask whether the changes really got applied (if they made
 some).
 Test the users ;)
