	//		This is an abstract API that data provider implementations conform to.
	//		This file defines functions signatures and intentionally leaves all the
	//		functions unimplemented.
	//
	//	description:
	//		This API defines a set of APIs that all datastores that conform to the
	//		Notifications API must implement.  In general, most stores will implement 
	//		these APIs as no-op functions for users who wish to monitor them to be able
	//		to connect to then via dojo.connect().  For non-users of dojo.connect, 
	//		they should be able to just replace the function on the store to obtain
	//		 notifications.  Both read-only and read-write stores may implement
	//		this feature.  In the case of a read-only store, this feature makes sense if 
	//		the store itself does internal polling to a back-end server and periodically updates
	//		its cache of items (deletes, adds, and updates).
	//
	//	example:
	//
	//	|	function onSet(item, attribute, oldValue, newValue) {
	//	|		//Do something with the information...
	//	|	};
	//	|	var store = new some.newStore();
	//	|	dojo.connect(store, "onSet", onSet);
