Most users only have a single port.  Probably automotive will also
mainly be single port devices.  Anyone making a BC or TC already has a
super confusing swamp full of options to wade through.  In other

These exceptional cases in the series don't seem too bad to me.

What do you mean by "unconditionally"?  State transitions are
triggered by events.
