A quick clarification about the current implementation. Currently,  
there's no specific validation lifecycle for the InlineEdit component.  
There is a "finishedEditing" callback that allows the implementor to  
insert their own processing hooks into the component.

I'd like to add a predicate callback, "shouldFinishEditing" that will  
allow the implementor to short-circuit the natural flow of the  
component in cases of validation errors and the like.

I'm working on articulating a a set of expected callbacks or "delegate  
functions" that all components should implement. API consistency like  
this is a high priority for me in the coming weeks.
