I wanted to explicitly mention how clients *should* be updating the current state, just in case a dev came along in the future and wondered, "Why is this projected? Why can't I just call setXXX to do what I want?" Rick and I talked about this issue this morning - we really want `parseRequest()` (or whatever it ends up being called) being the one entry point for updating the current state.

All that said… YUIDoc is not my strong suit. If there's a better way to link over to another method in the docs, let me know.
