		//		is a multi-valued attribute, it will append this item into the array of values for that attribute.  The structure

		//		onComplete, onError, etc) will be invoked in the context of the scope
		//		object.  In the body of the callback function, the value of the "this"
		//		keyword will be the scope object.   If no scope object is provided,
		//		the callback functions will be called in the context of dojo.global.
		//		For example, onComplete.call(scope) vs.
		//		onComplete.call(dojo.global)
		// returns:
		//		Nothing.  Since the saves are generally asynchronous, there is
		//		no need to return anything.  All results are passed via callbacks.

		//		the last save().
		// item:

		// exceptions:
		//		Throws an exception if isDirty() is passed an argument and the
		//		argument is not an item.
		// example:
		//	|	var trueOrFalse = store.isDirty(kermit); // true if kermit is dirty
