Comment 1 for bug 680337

I believe the code in mark-book-busy.php will work as-is for modifying repub_state and scanner, as those elements are already on the list of those allowed to be modified through that route.

You can adapt the code now in Scriblio.inc for calling mark-book-busy.php to be used in RePublisher-gotoFoldout.php, too. (Or put the common part of the code someplace where it can be shared.)

We probably, though, ought to change the name of the mark-book-busy.php script to something more general, so it makes sense in both calling contexts. Maybe remote-modxml.php or some such?
