Fernando, the document is in AUTH48. If there is a technical problem with
it that is sufficient to pull it out of the publication queue at this
point, I haven't heard it yet. I think it would be nice to add a little
advice on how to manage the state, but it's up to the authors to do this or
not. This discussion is getting a bit old.
