well SeqNum=0 is only possible after a reset or when the node boots. SeqNum
will always be different than 0 except for that occasions. So 6P can be
aware situation happening in the middle of a transaction.

We took that decision as we consider that Node B may have completely lost
the state, which is critical. Probably the option you mention would have
been also possible but we took that direction.

What is the issue you see with this?
