;;; UPDATING ITEMS
+;; these functions can be used to update the display after an action
+;; (edit/delete/bookmark/create, etc.).
+
+;; Currently, the model is to first update an item's data in the json text
+;; property, then to update the item based on that data. This separation is
+;; because we always want to update the json property for the entire item, but
+;; we don't always then want to update display of the entire item, but only
+;; part of it (a byline/status line, etc.). See lem-ui.el for examples of
using these update functions.
