Some relevant references. The important ones are Gleason's paper, Cooke et al.'s paper, and Pitowsky's paper.

December 2000, “New Ideas and Old Men”
Thanks for the new ideas. Let me try to make a few comments. I'm in a smoky hotel bar right now; I wonder how this is affecting my laptop's health? I know it's wreaking havoc on mine. I'm still in Vienna, by the way. I leave Tuesday morning. Unfortunately I haven't gotten an ounce written of what I had hoped to.
Renesism 1:This got me thinking about this stuff, and it seems that in some sense what we're gathering information about, when we make measurements, is the ability to predict future measurements.
You haven't read my paper with Kurt Jacobs yet, have you? [See quant-ph/0009101.] Come on, at least read the Introduction and Footnote 27.
