Well, it's that you need more info to capture when to autonomously
transition to a higher power state when you're already in a degraded
operational one. Does the device switch to a higher power after one
command, or should it handle it in its lower operational power state?
There's no spec guidance here, so the requirement makes sense, but I
think this could have been sorted out.
