The current behavior is not a bug and is exactly the way we designed
it to work.  That said, I *do* want to change the implementation
so that any time a cell is changed and the cursor leaves the cell
or "save & close" is clicked, the changed version is sent back to the
server.  I think Tom Boothby has argued against this,
which is why it hasn't happened already.
