iPad keyboard - when being hidden by the user

Does someone know the standard rule for what shall happen with any changes the user entered before he hides (not finishes) the iPad keyboard?

Save them or revoke them?

The standard is keeping it stored and reapply it. the point of minimizing is “not seeing it” not “losing all its content” (best way to keep it in mind is remembering why you would hide it in a chat application / facebook app :))
