Comment:
The different phases of a certificate being added to the tree:
* The thing that gets submitted to a CT log is not an entry. It's a
'submission'.
* At some point, an entry in the log is created for the submission. The
entry is the input to the Merkle Tree: "The input to the Merkle Tree Hash
is a list of data entries;".
* There's an intermediate phase, of an entry existing before it's actually
in the tree - Essentially, the entry is "created" when a sequence number
is assigned to the submission + timestamp combination.
Incorporation should be defined as the allocation of an sequence number to
the entry and production of an STH that includes the hash of that
sequenced entry.
