i-am-stopping message that
refers to itself (registrar imputes death of the node). 4.2.7.4.3
says that
in case of imputed death of a node, that the registrar sends an
i-am-stopping message
to every other node (when I read this section, I took it to mean “but
not
the node whose death has been imputed”).</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;">By the way, I think it makes sense to have
the registrar send an ‘i-am-stopping’
message to a node that it thinks is dead (but may not be). So I would
suggest modifying
section 4.2.7.4.3 to match 4.2.6.4.5.</span></font></p>

I agree, Tim. I'll modify the spec (unless somebody objects): in the
first sentence of 4.2.7.4.3 the word "other" will be removed and the
words "(including the terminated node itself, in case it doesn't
realize that its termination has been imputed)" will be inserted after
"in its cell".<br>
