I think that is a good idea. As you can start a submissions, I guess
it makes sense to be able to cancel them too. What should happen if
you try to cancel a submission that is not running? NOP I guess?

I'm not quite following the usefulness in your example though. You
start by "teasing" the submission action, before submitting to it? :)
