+// A DownloadItem normally goes through the following states: |
+// * Created (when download starts) |
+// * Made visible to consumers (e.g. Javascript) after the |
+// destination file has been determined. |
+// * Entered into the history database. |
+// * Made visible in the download shelf. |
+// * All data is received. Note that the actual data download occurs |
+// in parallel with the above steps, but until those steps are |
+// complete, completion of the data download will be ignored. |
+// * Download file is renamed to its final name, and possibly |
+// auto-opened. |
+// TODO(rdsmith): This progress should be reflected in |
+// DownloadItem::DownloadState and a state transition table/state diagram. |
+// |
+// TODO(rdsmith): This description should be updated to reflect the cancel |
+// pathways. |
