+/**
+ * Hook to allow, warn about, or abort a draft review being published.
+ *
+ * Extensions should provide a callback method (via the shouldPublish
+ * attribute) that will be called with the current DraftReview instance
+ * as an argument and should return either 'allow', 'warn', or 'abort' as
+ * well as a message that will be shown for 'warn' and 'block'.
+ *
+ * Warnings will be presented as a confirmation prompt dialog that will
+ * show the user the message and allow them to either abort the review or
+ * force the publish.
+ *
+ * Abortions will be presented as an alert box which informs the users
+ * as to why the publish was aborted using the message provided.
+ *
+ * The required validatePublish attribute should be a callback function
+ * with the signature validatePublish(draftReview, setValidation). Where
+ * setValidation is a callback method provided by the framework with the
+ * signature setValidation(isValid, message, allowContinue). Call this method
+ * with the appropriate arguments based on whether the draft valid; set
+ * allowContinue to true to display a warning instead of aborting the publish.
