I apologize for not getting the descriptions out earlier.  I am
working to generate an IETF draft for the deadline this week; while
this will contain a set of changes it will unfortunately not include a
large set of descriptive text for the changes to the state model;
those will be forthcoming however.

The change log for the nfs4_prot.x is somewhat sparse and has been for
my own record keeping.  For these latest updates, the changelog has no
additional information.

Well, once we work through the current issues list, that "should" be
it before working the draft to the next version of the NFSv4 RFC.  At
this point, I would prefer to spend my energies on getting the issues
resolved.
