You see, this is only the tip of the iceberg; there are other related
issues that need to be discussed, decided, implemented, tested,
rewritten according to users' bug/misfeatures reports, tested again,
etc. For example: what do we do under "emacs -Q"? do we honor the
previous recorded values or ignore them? how about "emacs -Q -D"?
Etc., etc.
Finally, Emacs doesn't behave like that on other platforms (AFAIK),
i.e. it doesn't come up where you positioned it the last time, so
this would be a deviation from the common behavior principle.
This is why I think now is not the time to implement such a feature.

H and W _do_ get into default-frame-alist, as the `height' and `width'
frame paramaters; if this doesn't work for you, please report that as
a bug. X and Y are only put into the initial-frame-alist, because the
idea is that these two geometry parameters are meant only for the
initial frame. (The fact that the Windows port of Emacs currently
ignores X and Y is a bug that should be fixed: we did obey them in
version 21.4.)
