-TEAM PROPERTIES AND METHODS
-===========================
+TEAM METHODS
+============
+
+Since the team object is supposed to be opaque to widgets, all access
+is via the following API methods rather than direct access to
+properties.
+
+String team.name()
+Bool team.submitted()
+Num team.perpage()
+Num team.totalRecordCount()
+Num team.currentPage();
+String team.currentRecordId() -- simple accessor functions that
+	provide the ability to read properties of the team.
+
+Array team.filters() -- another accessor function, providing access to
+	the array of prevailing filters (which narrow the search
+	results by means of Pazpar2 filters and limits). This is
+	really too complicated an object for the widgets to be given
+	access to, but it's convenient to do it this way. See the
+	"Navi" widget, which is the only place it's used.
+
+Hash team.config() -- access to the team's configuration
+	settings. There is almost certainly no reason to use this: the
+	settings that haven't been overridden are accessible via
+	this.config.
+
+Void team.set_sortOrder(string)
+Void team.set_perpage(number) -- "setter" functions for the team's
+	sortOrder and perpage functions. Unlikely to be needed outside
+	of the "Sort" and "Perpage" widgets.
+
+Queue team.queue(eventName)
+	Returns the queue associated with the named event: this can be
+	used to subscribe to the event (or more rarely to publish it).
+
+Bool team.targetFiltered(targetId)
+	
 
-team.queue(eventName)
-team.name()
-team.targetFiltered(targetId)
-team.config() -- no reason to use this.
