Hi there,

After reading the current SCXML spec, I find the definition of "entry set" 
confusing, possible incorrect.

In section 3.11, for [Definition: The entry set ...] the following is stated:

   [...] Otherwise, it consists of all members of the transition's complete 
target set that are not currently active. [..]

Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but it seem to me this can't be 
correct. Why are only 'not currently active' states considered?
A currently active state can be both exited and (re)entered as result of a 
single transition, so should (and IMO is to) be included in the entry set as well.

The "computeEntrySet" procedure in appendix A also doesn't reflect this AFAICT, 
only determining the entry set based on the transition targets only, not the (at 
that time already exited) current active states

Thanks,

Ate
