Fogel70 brings up an important point - since burst speed would probably be a main justification for this feature (or else why not just raw+?)
Sorry if this is an ignorant suggestion (I'm not much into the details of computer tech) But... how about then increasing buffer size by something like x10? Then Anders could get his "autoraw" setting to evaluate and save image files _after_ the burst shooting had ended - and, incidentally, it would also allow my "salvage unsaved photos from buffer" feature (Honestly, Anders, not trying to hijack your thread! :D)
I'm guessing there is a hitch here, beyond the reach of my knowledge, or else buffers would probably be larger in general...

Well yes, Anders, actually I want to strongly recommend raw+ as well (if I didn't make enough of a point of it above!)
I began shooting raw in 2009, and now when I use photos from before that date now, I am strongly annoyed by the missing ability to play around with WB and exposure - even if I didn't specifically mess it up, a picture might still benefit from slight adjustments. I enjoy digital "development" too, and the thing is, even if you don't want to play with your raw files now, with raw+ you can just use the jpgs, and consider your raw files as your digital "negatives" to be stored for some later date where you might need them.
After all, SD cards are cheap, hard drives are cheap. In a costly hobby like photography, these are really minor issues. So, why not.

I had a similar thought (or at least I think it's similar :)) - a feature that would allow you to save a photo from the buffer onto a memory card for those rare (but always totally spectacular and irrevocable) occasions where I snapped the shot and then saw the text "no card in camera" on the lcd screen... :o
But, honestly, I think the real cure is learning. I'm not sure I'm capable (given that these things keeps happening at irregular intervals), but anyway, no feature can really make up for "the human factor".
You CAN safeguard. In your case, by using raw+ as previous posters suggest, and in my case by trying to learn responsible behaviour when transferring photos from sd cards. For some reason that just sounds way easier than it is! :)
