M2PA Alignment Question

The following text regarding LSR suggests that M2PA is expected to 
behave like Q.703, entering the Aligned-Ready state (with T1 running) 
after Proving: 
 
 
     The Link Status Ready message replaces the FISU of MTP2 that is
sent
     at the end of the proving period.  The Link Status Ready message is
     used to verify that both ends have completed proving.  When M2PA
     starts timer T1, it SHALL send a Link Status Ready message to its
     peer in the case where MTP2 would send a FISU after proving is
     complete.  If the Link Status Ready message is sent, then M2PA MAY
     send additional Link Status Ready messages while timer T1 is
running.
     These Link Status Ready messages are sent on the Link Status
stream.

 
But the latter part of Figure 12 of RFC shows the right side going
directly
from Proving to In-Service.  Is there some text that describes/requires
this behavior?  I understand there is a problem if you don't do this,
as you need another LSR to move from Aligned-Ready to In-Service. But
M2PA only requires one to be sent (even with repeated LSRs, once T1 
is stopped on the left, the right side could get stuck).

        Send Link Status Ready (one or more) and wait for the remote end
        to complete its proving period.
