 I would not object to this change, since it seems to be neutral or
 friendly to both vendors and users.

+This looks pretty good to me.  My only complaint is that we are still
+somewhat ambiguous in the proposed wording that finalization may only
+happen *after* the task terminates.  Just saying it may occur "when" the task
+terminates might be misconstrued, in the same way the current wording
+has been misconstrued.

+You are correct here. I meant to fix that; I changed the wording of the
+permission to "After the task terminates, ...". I'm not sure that reads well,
+but it was easy. :-)
