Please note that this needs to be designed in the context of
splitting element state into two parts: "what the app wants to
happen" and "what the element thinks is happening", with the
former being under the sole control of the app, and the latter
being under the sole control of the element.  The core schedules
based on what the element thinks.  Everyone I've talked to about
this seems to agree that this change is possibly the highest
priority in 0.9.
