How is the state of an Entry modified by the API?

[Joe Gregorio <joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How should the state of an Entry be modified, where state can be (draft, published, syndicated).

Current responses on the wiki are:

     Answer: At this time, the state of an entry would be a tool-specific extension as there appears to be no common technique across existing tools -- a common technique should emerge first before attempting to standardize. There used to be an Authoring extension that targetted tool-specific metadata, including tool-specific entry syntax; that part got lost when it was factored into BiblioGraphy. CMS folks also tend to use WorkFlow to handle state, there appear to be several promising WorkFlow technologies that aren't wikied here yet.

     Answer: A 'tool:state' property would go in the entry, and one would use PUT to update the entry.
