Let's nail down the transitions that we plan to support, then, just as I did earlier for domains. It would be even cooler to have a life cycle diagram with the API used to transition between states documented somewhere. I seem to recall seeing one for domains once, but couldn't find it in 5 minutes of searching right now.
