 Replying to [comment:2 ryan]:
 > I think this needs to use wp_update_post() so that all of the right
 actions are triggered.

 One advantage to a stand-alone function instead of just using
 wp_update_post() is that you don't have to know all of the post data
 first.

 Also, other aspects of a post can be changed without going through
 wp_update_post, such as categories, tags, ping URLs, and post meta-data.

 And you keep the API parallel: where there's a get_* there should be a
 set_* or update_*
