+ * ## Isolated Scope Pitfall
+ *
+ * Note that if you have a directive with an isolated scope, you cannot require `ngModel`
+ * since the model value will be looked up on the isolated scope rather than the outer scope.
+ * When the directive updates the model value, calling `ngModel.$setViewValue()` the property
+ * on the outer scope will not be updated.
+ *
+ * Here is an example of this situation.  You'll notice that even though both 'input' and 'div'
+ * seem to be attached to the same model, they are not kept in synch.
