+// This class maintains state that is used to upload tracking data from the

nit: unpicked --> unpickled

Done.

*if* you think this code will continue to exist in the final implementation....

nit: Suggest you change "The ownership ..." sentence to:

Transfers ownership of |value| to the entity that supplied this callback.  It is
then responsibility of the implementation of SendData() to eventually delete
|value|.

make destructor private, so that only reference counting friend can delete us
(and make the base ref counting class our friend).

I'm going to guess that these callback objects are ref-counted, so we should
pass around scoped_ref_ptrs rather tan raw pointers.

[ramant (doing other things), 2011/11/01 00:52:15]

I am hoping the Callback that is defined in this file, will be deleted.

+

[jar (doing other things), 2011/10/30 08:04:19]

Rather than a lock, we *might* restrict this class to doing most all of its work
on a specific thread, such as the UI thread.  If we do that, then we won't need
a lock.  For the few methods that are on other threads, they should do little
more than process data, and post a task to the proper (UI?) thread to do work
involving access to members.
