Interaction Status

Folks,

here is another technical question, this time about the Interaction
Status.

It is written in 41.1 2c in case of a
SetInteractionStatus(false) action:
"...generate the InteractionCompleted Event"

How about removing this sentence?

Reason: For example, you have an Entryfield, which is interactible. With
some means the user terminates this interaction, I would expect the
Entryfield to generate a IteractionCompleted Event on it's own. This
event will be used by a friedly MHEG app to fire a link which sets the
Interaction Status to false (which is the only way to change the
interaction status). A second "interaction completed" it not that good.

Main issue behind: Who is in charge to generate the InteractionCompleted
event? We suggest that it is comming from the EntryField object itself.

Additionally: In the same paragraph, it is missing that the interaction
status should be set to false, if a appropriate action is executed.
