In the absence of page/swap space for modified memory, I'm not sure what 
'correctly' means.  :-)

To my way of thinking, the problem is that there's no well-defined "and now 
we're back" notification.  Re-using the method that's normally called to load 
the startup state of a view doesn't quite cut it when the view should actually 
represent on-going state changes.  Maybe an approach is to use 
didReceiveMemoryWarning to create a record of differences vs. startup and, if 
not nil, apply those in viewDidAppear.  Another thought would be for the 
framework to have a 'dirty' flag to control whether a view could be 
unloaded/reloaded without harm.

I guess I'll look at the possibility of preventing unloading (at least of the 
detail view), perhaps in combination with my own 'dirty' indicator.
