One caveat that I've run into with this is that you need to make sure  
to BOTH set currentItem and editItem. It is perfectly happy to let you  
edit an item that is not the current item, but then when you hit tab  
or whatever to move to the next field, you find yourself experiencing  
odd behavior. Or at least I did.
