The simple answer is that you don't ever save workspaces, you simply 
use them, just like you might use playlists in iTunes.  You can 
configure them to auto-save their windows (if you'd like a workspace to 
reopen those windows after you quit), and you can take a snapshot of a 
specific configuration to which you can return later (possibly after 
you quit), but they're not something you explicitly "save."

You can also create new empty workspaces, and you can start using those 
and put new windows in them.  (Again, think of those iTunes playlists.) 
  You can move windows from one workspace to another by dragging them in 
the Workspaces window (much like dragging some songs into a new 
playlist) if you don't want to have to set up those windows again.

I do think it would be nice if you could duplicate workspaces, easily 
copy an entire workspace's set of windows into the current workspace, 
etc.  In fact, if we were to do this right we could probably eliminate 
the need for snapshots (which, while useful, seem unnecessarily awkward 
to use at the moment).
