Re: SNL: state change statement in entry block

[John William Sinclair <sinclairjw@ornl.gov>]

When you think of a state diagram, it makes sense that state transitions 
do not belong in an entry block. On the diagram, the entry condition is 
just text that specifies information related to entering the state. 
Nothing would prevent someone altering the traditional semantics but it 
would probably be better to be consistent with common usage.
