What changed was thinking about Joe's comments and also reading Mark's comments
in bug 17199.

Since I wrote that I've proposed that there is no explicit sharing - just that
you don't necessarily need to go through PENDING to get to READY.

I don't think we can be. I wonder if we can start with saying there are no
guarantees and see if we run into implementation problems? Are there specific
guarantees you are looking for?
