Q.703 allows an MSU to complete alignment as well as a FISU.  See
for example draft-bidulock-m2pa-test-06.txt section 3.1.6 or the
corresponding Q.781/1.6 test case.

ANSI T1.111.3 and ETSI ETS 300 008-1 and even SAL are the same in
this respect.

So, when the SLTM is received T1 should be cancelled and the link
put into service at L2.  If the LS Ready is late on Stream 0 and
is received later, it does not affect the state of the in-service
link.

Thus the SLTM is delivered to MTP L3 and requires a response per
Q.704/Q.707 before the link is placed into service at L3.

This is really an SS7 thing, not an M2PA thing.
