I think it's just mis-documented...or I'm misunderstanding the
documentation format. From what I can tell, the docs say that
jQuery.data( name, value ) should return *value* (i.e., the second
argument), when it actually returns the jQuery object. The latter is
more useful, as George's example illustrates. If the docs were
correct, George's example above wouldn't work, since the addClass
method would be expected as a member of the object '{ first: 16, last:
"pizza!" }' that was added as the value.
